Biographical history
E R Corby (1905-1990) was an architectural student from the late 1930's of the Regent Street Polytechnic. Several drawings attributed to Corby are stamped Riley and Glanfield Chartered Architects, 6 Raymond Buildings, Grays Inn, WC1., suggesting that he was employed at this firm in the late 1930s-1950s. Further information provided by the donor indicates that Corby was also employed by Giles Gilbert Scott and produced drawings for him of Coventry and Liverpool Cathedrals and the Houses of Parliament during its restoration in 1945/6.
