Harold Tomlinson

Harold Tomlinson was a 20th-century British architect.[1]

Tomlinson was based at the University of Cambridge School of Architecture. There he supervised the Scottish architect Frank James Connell.[2]

The current ADC Theatre used by the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club in Park Street, central Cambridge, was designed by Harold Tomlinson and W.P. Dyson. It reopened in 1935 after a fire that destroyed the original building in 1933.[3][4]

Tomlinson also designed the main building for Cambridge Airport south of Newmarket Road on the eastern edge of the city.[5] This was constructed during 1936–37 and the airport opened in 1938.
