BARTON WILLMORE AT 80
A HISTORY IN PICTURES
2016 marks a very special benchmark for Barton Willmore as we celebrate
our 80th anniversary – no mean feat in the development industry. Here,
we take a look at our history, both in projects and the people who created
them, to celebrate the milestones that have brought us to this point and will
carry us into what we hope is an equally successful future.

One of Harry Barton’s first buildings, still standing and much
loved by its long term residents, Colin and Shirley Powell.
The job book below lists some 800 jobs undertaken by the

the European Communities
and the impending opening
of the Channel Tunnel also
offered potential international
opportunities.
