Smiths Gore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smiths Gore was a firm of chartered surveyors with 32 offices and 18 estate offices across the UK. It was noted for its rural property consultancy services.[1][2]
The firm was started in 1847 when John Pickering and Edmund James Smith formed a partnership known as Pickering and Smith in London. Smith later became President of the Surveyors' Institute.[3]
His son-in-law, Wimbledon tennis champion Spencer William Gore, joined Smith in the business, and the firm was renamed Smiths and Gore.[3][4]
