Waterhouse continued to practise in Manchester for 12 years, until moving his practice to London in 1865. Waterhouse's earliest commissions were for domestic buildings. In executing the commission for the cemetery buildings at Warrington Road, Lower Ince, Wigan, (1855-56) he began his move towards designing public buildings in his developing Gothic style, building a Lodge for the Registrar, and two Chapels, one Church of England, and one Non-Conformist. However, his success as a designer of public buildings was assured in 1859 when he won the open competition for the
