Giles Gilbert Scott was a successful architect who designed the famous red telephone boxes used throughout Britain for most of the 20th century.
Scott developed a keen interest in church architecture, and his designs for Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral were chosen while he was still a pupil. This big step brought him into the architectural limelight.
He went on to design both Bankside Power Station (now home to the Tate Modern art gallery), and Battersea Power Station, which together generated a large proportion of London's electricity. He also designed Waterloo Bridge, several buildings at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as a number of church buildings across Britain.
