VG. ** "Samuel Davies (1857 - 1929) was born in Frodsham, Cheshire, the son of Thomas and Ellen Davies. Samuel Davies was articled to Peter Bradshaw Alley of Manchester. Educated at Manchester School of Art and won prizes awarded by the Manchester Society of Architects and the Manchester Architectural Association. Samuel Davies commenced independent practice at Frodsham about 1891 and on 1 July 1893 his partnership with C E Linaker was dissolved. In 1894 he was elected a member of the Society of Architects and the following year opened a branch office in Runcorn. In 1907 he suffered severe financial difficulties, forcing the auction of his household furniture and his move from Avanley Terrace. However, these actions were insufficient to clear his debt and in May 1907 he sued for bankruptcy. In March 1908 a first and final payment of 1s 5½d in the pound was made to creditors and Samuel Davies then set about re-establishing his practice, opening a new branch office at Victoria Buildings, Runcorn. His Frodsham practice continued until at least 1923. Works include detached residences at Frodsham, Runcorn, Helsby, Blackpool and other places and shops, factories, farms etc. restoration of tower and other works at Frodsham parish church. On 23 June 1887 Samuel Davies married Margaret Anne Jones the daughter of Robert Jones (deceased) gentleman, at Frodsham Parish Church. She died on 29 November 1900, aged 42. He died on 29 April 1929 at Kingsway, Frodsham, leaving effects of £50." - See Architects of Greater Manchester 1800 - 1940 .…
