Very tricky this week, Charles Holden designed many tube stations in London, sometimes in partnership with Stanley Heaps. Near as I can figure it the answers are
1) Thomas Wallis
2) Osterly Park
The architects who designed a lot of the Art Deco buildings in the thirties were Wallis, Gilbert and Partners. Thomas Wallis was born in 1873. They built the Hoover building in Perivale which is now a Tesco. Osterly station was built in the style of Charles Holden (b1875) by Stanley Heaps, with a large brick tower and lies south of Osterly park, which had a mansion owned by a Mercer named Sir Thomas Gresham (b 1518). If you go north through the park, you come to Hanwell Locks, which raise the Grand Union Canal 53ft.
