About this Site
Background
As a relative of Joseph Emberton and an architect myself I have over the years acquired various photos, drawings and stories about him from various people. There are various very good sources of information online and at Brighton University, as well as the book by Rosemary Ind. But I think the time has come for me to put some of the material I have collected over the years onto this website as a tribute and to help students with research - Rod Emberton Architect, Chester
