William Crabtree [cite web|title = The History Channel article on Crabtree|url = http://www.thehistorychannel.co.uk/site/encyclopedia/article_show/Crabtree_William_19051991_/m0033796.html?&searchtermold=ice%20road%20truckers&searchtermold=ice%20road%20truckers|accessdate = 2008-04-03] . (1905–91) was an English architect. His reputation rests mainly on his Peter Jones Department Store, Sloane Square and King's Road, Chelsea, London (1932–7), designed for John Spedan Lewis (1885–1963), the founder of the John Lewis Partnership. Crabtree worked in collaboration with Slater & Moberly, with Professor Sir Charles Herbert Reilly [cite web|title = International architectural database entry on Reilly|url = http://eng.archinform.net/arch/8175.htm|accessdate = 2008-04-03] (1874-1948), Crabtree's former mentor at Liverpool University, as a consultant. It was one of the first 20th Century uses of the glass curtain-wall in England, and was influenced by the work of Erich Mendelsohn, the Prussian architect, who lectured twice at Liverpool University [cite web|title = The Architectural Review article on Liverpool, January 2008, refers to Medelsohn, Reilly and Crabtree|url = http://www.arplus.com/broch/articles/ARJAN08/AR_JAN_08_liverpool_hatton.pdf|accessdate = 2008-04-04] . Reilly and Crabtree also collaberated on the John Lewis Department Store in Oxford Street, London.
He subsequently worked with Sir (Leslie) Patrick Abercrombie on the reconstruction of Plymouth and Southampton after the 1939–45 war, and designed several buildings in the new post-war towns Basildon and Harlow in Essex [cite web|title = Answers.com|url = http://www.answers.com/topic/william-crabtree-1|accessdate = 2008-04-04] .
Crabtree's other work in London included an extension to Sir William Collins Compehensive School in Charrington Street, Somers Town, Camden, NW1, now South Camden Community School (SCCS), which was officially opened in 1961.
