We have very little information on the Woollacotts. Our records indicate that the a firm of architects - Messrs. Woollacott, Scott and Hudson(Bulawayo) - in which Mr Herbert Woollacott was a partner, was one of three finalists in a competition for the design of Durban's new Town Hall in 1903 (A total of twenty-eight designs had been submitted). The design of Messrs Woolacott, Scott and Hudson was accepted with amendments. Apparently Mr Woollacott retired before the decision was made, while Mr Scott retired soon after the signing of the contract. The remaining partner, Mr Hudson, assumed responsibility for supervising the construction of the Town Hall, with the assistance of William Farley, the Clerk of Works.
.Yours sincerely
