A family history in construction

John Tomkinson and his life was the incentive I had to start this website, having not realised his importance until after I had retired. He is a strange mixture of the known and unknown, the entrepreneur and the naïve. Was he involved with the Foster era and its brushes with morality? He erected a significant monument to his foreman stonemason which survives to this day along with his major work, St Georges Hall, Liverpool. He was a deacon in the Unitarian Church, a builder of chapels, a modest but not self effacing man.
So I have tried to elicit some facts as well as recording what I can about the family history in construction.
