Early lifeBrodrick was born in the Yorkshire port of Hull where his father was a well-to-do merchant and shipowner. He was the sixth son of ten children of John and Hannah Brodrick. The family lived at 39 George Street in the best residential area of Hull. Education and trainingBrodrick attended Kingston College in Hull and, on leaving school, he became an articled pupil in the architectural practice of Henry Francis Lockwood whose premises were at 8 Dock Street. Brodrick remained at Lockwoods from 1837 until May 1844 when he embarked on the Grand Tour to continue his studies. He travelled through France to Rome in Italy. Whilst on the tour, he studied Second Empire architecture in Paris; it influenced his later designs.[1] When Brodrick returned to Hull in 1846, he was offered a partnership in Lockwood’s firm. He refused this, and set up in practice on his own at 1, Savile Street in Hull. He designed a number of local buildings in Hull including the Hull Royal Institution building and the Hull Town Hall. LeedsIn 1852, aged 29, Brodrick entered and won a competition for the design of Leeds Town Hall. The competition was judged by Charles Barry. The town hall was opened in September 1858 by Queen Victoria. Brodrick moved to an office at 30 Park Row, Leeds and acquired the nickname 'Town Hall, Leeds'. The iconic clock tower, which serves as a symbol of Leeds, was not part of Brodrick's initial design but was added when the civic leaders sought an even grander architectural statement. His other important buildings in Leeds were the Leeds Corn Exchange (1860-3) and the Mechanics' Institute (1860-5) which became the Civic Theatre and in September 2008 the home of the Leeds City Museum. He altered the way central Leeds looked with just three buildings. His only church was Headingley Congregational Church on Headingley Lane.[2][3] Notable buildingsLeeds
ElsewhereBrodrick designed the Grand Hotel in Scarborough.[5] [6]He submitted unsuccessful designs in competitions to build Preston Town Hall, and the Exchange in Manchester. Personal lifeIn 1870, Brodrick moved to France where in 1876 he bought a house at Le Vésinet, St. Germain-en-Laye. He retired in 1875, and spent his time painting, exhibiting his work and gardening. In about 1898 he went to live with his niece in Jersey, where he rented a house, La Colline, at Gorey. Whilst living there he designed, and planted a garden.[7] He died in Jersey on 2 March 1905, and is buried in St Martin's Churchyard. [8]PupilsAmong Brodrick's pupils was Joseph Wright (architect) [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%20%22Joseph%20Wright%20of%20hull%22&hl=en&sa=N&tab=sw] LegacyA Wetherspoons public house, the 'Cuthbert Brodrick', opened on 22 October 2007 on Millennium Square in Leeds opposite one of the buildings he designed (the Leeds City Museum) and not far from another (Leeds Town Hall).[9] It is near the site on Cookridge Street of the Oriental Baths which he also designed; they were built in 1866 and demolished in 1969.[10] His nephew was F. S. Brodrick, also an architect worked with R. G. Smith. Brodrick was the subject of a 2007 BBC2 television programme The Case of the Disappearing Architect by Jonathan Meades.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/content/articles/2007/06/01/how_we_built_britain_cuthbert_broderick_feature.shtml|title=BBC - Leeds - How We Built Britain - Cuthbert Broderick|publisher=www.bbc.co.uk|accessdate=24 August 2009|last=|first=}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Wrathmell |first=Susan |date=2005 |title=Pevsner Architectural Guides: Leeds |url= |location= |publisher=Yale University Press |page=257 |isbn=0-300-10736-6 |author-link= }} 3. ^{{NHLE| num =1255982| desc=Number 44A with entrance steps, Headingley Lane|accessdate = 16 July 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.citychurchleeds.net/ashwood-centre/|title=The Building – the bricks & mortar|work=City Church Leeds|accessdate=4 October 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/legacies/heritage/england/leeds/article_1.shtml|title=BBC - Legacies - Architectural Heritage - England - Leeds - A bolt out of the blue - Article Page 1|publisher=www.bbc.co.uk|accessdate=24 August 2009|last=|first=}} 6. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NhLyGME7734C&pg=PA72 |title=Grand Hotels: Reality and Illusion - Google Books|publisher=books.google.co.uk|accessdate=24 August 2009|last=|first=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=7816&iid=JERRG13_5313_5315-0798&fn=Cuthbert&ln=Brodrick&st=r&ssrc=&pid=33837985|title=Ancestry.co.uk - 1901 Channel Islands Census|publisher=search.ancestry.co.uk|accessdate=25 August 2009}} 8. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lHii4haIULEC&pg=PA262&dq=Cuthbert+Brodrick&lr=&ei=w76SSs39H4y0NNKZvLYH#v=onepage&q=Cuthbert%20Brodrick&f=false|title=Directory of British Architects 1834 ... - Google Books|publisher=books.google.co.uk|accessdate=24 August 2009|last=|first=}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.leeds-city-guide.com/cocoon.html|title=The Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds - Leeds City Guide - The Essential Guide to Bars, Pubs, Clubs, Hotels and Restaurants in Leeds.|publisher=www.leeds-city-guide.com|accessdate=25 August 2009}} 10. ^{{cite book | last = Leach | first = Peter | first2 = Nikolaus |last2=Pevsner|author2-link=Nikolaus Pevsner | title = Yorkshire West Riding: Leeds, Bradford and the North | year = 2009 | page = 448 | publisher = Yale University Press | location = New Haven and London |isbn = 978-0-300-12665-5 }} 11. ^{{cite web|title=The Case of the Disappearing Architect|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007l3zm|work=BBC 2|accessdate=29 August 2011}} Further reading
