How to identify architects, no. 17. If a building is Victorian, was built for the Prudential Assurance and is very red, then the architect was almost certainly Alfred Waterhouse. The first two conditions will suffice in most cases. In many cases his son, Paul, will have been involved later. Here, dad built the original in 1886, before son enlarged, including adding the tower, in 1904-06. Brick and terracotta. Above the entrance is an elaborately-corbelled oriel window. Grade II listed.
