Article missing Early life section
This is a long article to have zero background on the early life of the subject, it seems odd to jump straight into senior roles.

Sources that can be drawn from include:


 * Pioneers in British Planning (1981) - Page 103. Gordon Emanuel Cherry


 * The Reader's Companion to Twentieth-century Writers (1995) - Page 1. Peter Parker, ‎Frank Kermode · 1995: Abercrombie was born at Ashton - on - Mersey, Cheshire , the eighth of nine children of a stockbroker ( Patrick Abercrombie , the regional planner , was a brother ) . He attended Malvern College , then read chemistry at Owens College:
