Bio Notes:	In 1918, Henry Thomas Sandy acquired the offices and whatever remained of the architectural practice of Henry Oswald Hill, of Manchester, who had been killed in action, shot down over enemy trenches in October 1917. Initially Sandy was in partnership with Herbert Cecil Powell under the style “Hill Sandy and Powell,” but this was dissolved on 14 October 1919. Sandy made a second attempt to form a partnership with J H or WC Mangan of Preston which was also unsuccessful, although the practice was listed as “Hill Sandy and Mangan” in the 1920 edition of the Manchester Street Directory. In 1920 Sandy finally took into partnership Ernest Bower Norris, ARIBA, but this partnership too proved short-lived, cut short by Henry Sandy’s unexpected death in January 1922 at the age of 53. Norris continued to run the Stafford office under the style of “Sandy and Norris,” until his death in 1969 while in Manchester, the former office of H O Hill at 9 Albert Square was continued as a branch office under the style of “Hill Sandy and Norris.” Here Norris took F M Reynolds into partnership in the mid 1930's, a partnership dissolved in 1946 Following the ending of the partnership, F M Reynolds continued to practice from the Manchester office in partnership with William Scott under the style "Reynolds and Scott" while Norris continued the Stafford office under the original name of "Sandy and Norris."
