History Edit

He was born in 1861 in Lenton, the third son of George Ball (1823–1887) and Lois Attenborough (1826–1913).[2] His brother, Sir Albert Ball was Lord Mayor of Nottingham.

He studied under Richard Charles Sutton and became his assistant until 1880 when he established himself in independent practice in Nottingham.

Later he worked in partnership with John Lamb (1859–1949), trading as Ball & Lamb at 5 Houndsgate, until John Lamb established himself in private practice around 1907.

He was appointed Licentiate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1911.

He was elected to Nottingham City Council in 1902 as representative for Castle Ward.

In 1914 his residency was Clumber House, Lenton Avenue, The Park, Nottingham. According to his probate record of 14 December 1914, he died at the Clifton Hotel in Blackpool, Lancashire. He left an estate valued at £31,171 16s 9d (equivalent to £2,657,500 in 2021).[3]
