Mansell & Mansell was an architectural partnership formed by Thomas Henry Mansell (1834-1911) and his sons, Edward Mansell (1860-1941) and Thomas Gildart Mansell (1866-1929), in Birmingham, England in c.1892. Soon after the arrangement, Mansell senior retired leaving his sons to run the practice.
In the early 1900s Edward and Thomas Gildart Mansell were briefly in partnership with (?) Dixon as Mansell, Mansell & Dixon. They submitted designs for a competition for an extension to Birmingham Council House in 1906. The designs are illustrated in British Competitions in Architecture vol. 1, no. 10, September 1906 pp. 41-46. The partnership may have only been formed in order to enter this competition.
In 1908 Mansell & Mansell entered a competition to design municipal buildings in Bethnal Green, London. Their designs are illustrated in British Competitions in Architecture vol. 2, no. 15, February 1908 (pp. 120, 121).
Mansell & Mansell ceased business in 1934.
Mansell & Mansell designed, extended or altered a wide range of public, commercial, industrial and domestic buildings in the Birmingham area. Among new builds by them were Tudor Grange, a house for Alfred Lovekin at Blossomfield, Solihull (1887); a coach house and stables for James adie at the rear of 33 Hagley Road, Birmingham (1890); shops for Ward & Sons at St. Paul's Square, Birmingham (1891); premises for Lipscombe& Bayley at Stanhope Street, Birmingham (1891); warehouse and workshop for Adie & Lovekin Ltd., jewellers at Frederick Street/Regent Street, Birmingham (1895); premises for Mary Bolton, ships' births manufacturers at 19 Newhall Hill, Birmingham (1896); a house for Rev.
