context_page_description: 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 and Henry Gilbert Gamble. 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 to the more disciplined English Renaissance of Horncastle and later schools. In 1903, Gamble, who may have been the more talented designer was appointed architect to the Lindsey County Council Education Committee.

Lincolnshire County Council Offices (formerly Lindsey County Offices - H.G. Gamble was theLindsey County Surveyor). Newland, Lincoln. The Lindsey County Council acquired Newland House (Listed Grade II), 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, by the Lincoln architect  William Hayward dating 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 an Art Deco staircase was inserted into Newland House and the entrance, showing Art Deco influence, was added to the West Parade frontage and to the gate columns on both entrances.
