CLARKE, ALBERT JOHN HAMILTON
- Born: 1880/81 Died: -
Town surveyor of Portrush, Co. Antrim. According to the 1911 census, Albert Clarke was born in Co. Down in 1880 or 1881. He served his apprenticeship in Belfast with WILLIAM JOHN WATERMAN ROOME . He was a winner of the Sir Charles Lanyon Memorial Travelling Studentship awarded by the Belfast School of Art and spent two years of study in England before becoming first a draughtsman to WILLIAM WRIGHT LARMOR of Banbridge, then assistant to SAMUEL JOHN MCFADDEN , civil engineer of Coleraine, with whom he spent three years. In 1907 he was appointed to the surveyorship of Portrush, a post which he held until at least 1940.(1) His workmens' houses erected at Portrush in 1911 were commended by PETER CHALMERS COWAN , chief engineering inspector for the Local Government Board, as the finest cottages he had inspected in Ireland, and the recreation grounds which he laid out on Ramore Hill in 1920-23 were described in glowing terms in a full-page article in the Irish Builder of 23 July 1923.
Clarke, described as a man of 'alarming energy', married his wife, Margaret, circa 1910 and had three sons, all of whom were in the British forces in 1940, when the second son, an airman, was reported missing.(2)
Clarke's pupils and assistants included WILLIAM WYLIE HOUSTON.
