Encyclopedia : R : RE : REG : Reginald Blomfield
Sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield (20 December 1856–27 December 1942) was a British architect, garden designer and author. He designed the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, Flanders as well as the Pall Mall premises of the Carlton Club destroyed in World War 2 (rather than the current premises in St James' St), Lady Margaret Hall.
Reginald Blomfield was also known for remodelling streets in the early 20th Century such as Regent Street in London in the 1920s and The Headrow in Leeds from 1929. These are notable for being constructed in a uniform architectural style.
