History
Albert Smith was born on the 21st of September 1905 and resided at 97 Roslea Dv, Dennistoun. He studied Drawing and Painting at The Glasgow School of Art in the session 1925-1926 when it is believed that he progressed quickly to the life class.
Smith later became a draughtsman at McGibbon's Marine Engineering College, and then with the Central Electricity Board (CEB) in Glasgow when it started in 1927. He came down to Bristol as Chief Draughtsman in 1930 when the CEB opened its Bristol office. He later drew life-size pencil portraits from photographs for two of his managers to be presented at their respective retirements. He eventually became Regional Wayleave Officer. He died in May 1988.
