Not just 'A local boy makes good'
John Alfred Duffill was not simply a local boy made good, but a local boy who created sound original structures that have stood the test of time.
He pioneered a completely new concept, that of building in permanent materials and his concrete buildings are forerunners to those being built today.
Duffill's work marked a whole new trend in thinking, design and construction and his safely-kept drawings will long remain a testimony to his remarkable talent and skill.
