}}Scorer and Gamble was an architectural practice in Lincoln which operated between 1901 and 1913, although the name Scorer and Gamble continued to be used until 1930. The partnership was between William Scorer (1843–1934) and Henry Gilbert Gamble (1867–1944). The partnership operated from Bank Street Chambers Lincoln. Their work is described as eclectic, ranging from the Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau of Gainsborough Library (1905) to the more disciplined English Renaissance of Horncastle (1908) and later schools. In 1903, Gamble, who may have been the more talented designer was appointed architect to the Lindsey County Council Education Committee.[1]The partnersWilliam Scorer (1843 or 1844–34)Student at Lincoln School of Art. Articled to Henry Francis Goddard of Lincoln and later worked for Henry Sumners of Liverpool. Practised in London for two years. ARIBA in 1881 when he was working from St Edmond’s Chambers, Lincoln.

Lincolnshire County Offices- Lincolnshire County Council Offices (formerly Lindsey County Offices). Newland, Lincoln. 1926–1932. The Lindsey County Council acquired Newland House which stood in a small area of parkland in about 1922. The new offices were then laid out around two quadrangles with the main facade facing onto Newland. Newland house, probably by the Lincoln architect William Hayward, which dates from 1824 was incorporated into the upper quadrangle on the West Parade frontage. Scorer and Gamble made three applications for building approval to the Lincoln City Council. Building commenced on the Upper Quadrangle and the second phase was the southern facade and quadrangle which was in a Neo-Georgian style with brick and innovative concrete dressings. Rusticated ground floor with porch with coupled Ionic columns and balustraded parapet. The second floor has pedimented windows. The third phase returned to the upper quadrangle, and Art Deco staircase was inserted into Newland House and the entrance, showing Art Deco influence, was added to the West Parade frontage.[9]

{{clear}}Shops and offices- 302 High Street, Lincoln by Scorer and Gamble, 1907. In a late Tudor Gothic style with ornate carved decoration. The south side overlooks the River Witham and has been badly disfigured by later additions which were since removed, but have scarred the building. It was originally built for a Mr J. Cooper and the southern portion was occupied by Lipton Teas. It is now occupied by Carphone Warehouse, with an unsympathetic fascia added at first-floor level.[21]

Bainbridges was established in 1846 and at that time occupied 234 High Street, a fine later 18th-century building with a classical doorway and bow-windows. The store expanded into properties on either side.[23] In 1925, the whole group of buildings was demolished, but Scorer and Gamble, who appear to have been the architects, applied to the City Council to move the classical doorway to the Park Street frontage, where it still remains.[24]

{{clear}}Carholme Road, LincolnIn 1919 a large area of land became available at the west end of Carholme Road before the Lincoln racecourse. The area, which was used for industrial purposes, was bounded on the south by the Foss Dyke. Part was taken up by Doughty, Son and Richardson, manufacturers of cattle cake and the remainder by Newsum and Son's joinery works. Remaining buildings designed by Scorer and Gamble are Harvester House, which housed offices for Doughty, Son and Richardson and Newsum Villas, probably worker's housing for Newsum and Son.[25] References1. ^"Antram", 1989, p. 85. This states that the partnership was dissolved in 1913, but Scorer, Gamble and Co. continued to make building applications to Lincoln City Council until 1930, when the partnership appears to have been dissolved.
