Drainage system with holding tank, Clifton Roman Catholic Cathedral

Clifton Catholic Cathedral in Bristol has a light and airy feel both inside and out. More restrained than its Liverpool counterpart, it has a reputation of being one of the best concrete (and 'Brutailist') buildings in Britain. It was designed by The Percy Thomas Partnership, and built between 1970 and 1974.

 

Percy Thomas Partnership was the trading name of the award-winning British architectural practice established some time between 1965 and 1973 as the successor to a series of earlier partnerships originally set up by Percy Thomas (1883–1969) in Cardiff, Wales in 1911/12. Percy Thomas and the Percy Thomas Partnership put their name to a number of landmark buildings in the United Kingdom including the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff. It opened offices overseas and completed a number of prestigious buildings in Hong Kong.

Percy Thomas Partnership came to an end in 2004 when they went into administration and were bought by Capita Group.
