Joseph Bernard Clark (1868-1940) was a British ornamental plasterer and co-founder of the specialist plasterwork company of Clark & Fenn. Born in Dundee on 25 March 1868, the son of a plasterer, Clarks family moved to London when he was still young. In 1913 Clark joined with Harry Fenn, a surveyor, founding a company at Loughborough Junction to specialise in ornamental fibrous plasterwork and Plaster of Paris work. The business was a rapid success with commissions from the new cinemas and major theatres who competed against each other through the splendour of their interior decoration. For designs, Clark & Fenn worked closely with G. Jackson & Sons, founded in 1780 with Robert Adam as a designer. The company soon moved to larger premises at Clapham Old Town where they were able to prefabricate much of their work off-site. This allowed them to take the mouldings ready-prepared for installation to a theatre or cinema, minimising the disruption to performances and rehearsals. Notable works include: * Theatre Royal, Drury Lane * Grand Theatre Leeds * London Palladium * Somerset House in the Strand * St. Clement Danes in the Strand, * Granada, Tooting == External links== * (Interior photographs of the Granada, Tooting ) * (G Jackson & Sons ) George Jackson Limited * (Catalogue of decorative mouldings ) Clark and Fenn 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Bernard Clark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
