Herbert Jackson FRIBA FRTPI (25 June 1909 – 1989), known as "Jacko",[2] was a British architect and town planner, active in Birmingham and the Black Country, England, during and after World War II. He worked in the practice of Jackson & Edmonds,[3] and sometimes partnership with Thomas Alwyn Lloyd.[4]
Jackson was born in 1909, the son of John Herbert Jackson. He was educated at Handsworth Grammar School and Birmingham School of Architecture.[1] He was awarded the Saxon Snell Prize in 1931, the same year he went into private practise.[3]
With Patrick Abercrombie, in 1948 he authored The West Midlands Plan and the North Staffordshire Plan, each commissioned by the Minister for Town and Country Planning.[4][5] He was President of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) from 1960–1962.
In 1955, his address was given as 25 Augustus Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham.[3]
His portrait was sketched in 1947 by the artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker, an earlier RBSA President, whose son, Guy, worked for Jackson & Edmonds.[2]
