Living as I do in Victoria, British Columbia, I can assure you that Francis Rattenbury's name is far from forgotten here. In addition to the Legislative Buildings, Rattenbury is responsible for designing many of the grand homes that still stand in Victoria's older neighbourhoods. As I also lived in Bournemouth as a child, I can attest to there being more than just a passing similarity between the two cities, the Victoria of 125 years ago aspiring, quite successfully, to create a small piece of England on the far west coast of Canada.
