About Golding Young & Thos. Mawer |
|
Thomas Mawer & Son have
been established in Lincoln since 1864. In 2010 they merged with
Golding Young of Grantham upon the retirement of Senior partner Clinton
Slingsby.

Goldings was formed in
1900 by George W Golding, one time Mayor of Grantham, and Louis
Millhouse. The multi-discipline practice had the versatility of being
Auctioneers, Valuers, Surveyors, Estate Agents, Insurance Brokers and
Railway & Shipping Agents.
The partners were joined
after the First World War by Albert Baxter and in 1931 by Bernard
Millhouse, who became a partner in 1951. Every Saturday Goldings held
auctions on the street of Westgate as well as those at the Old Wharf
Road Saleroom. By 1966 Bernard Millhouse was sole principal of the firm
at its offices at 38 Westgate.
Bernard Millhouse was joined by C Robin Hall in 1969 and
became a partner in 1971, followed by Ian J Shaw in 1973 becoming a
partner in 1977.
The influence of Robin
Hall saw the building of a New Saleroom in Old Wharf Road in 1971 and
the Surveying & Estate Agency practice move to 45 High Street in 1977.
In 1987 the business was
sold to the Leeds Permanent Building Society and then re-acquired by the
partners in 1991.
1989 saw the arrival of a new Saleroom Manager in Colin R
Young.
In 1994 Colin Young
became Sole Principal of the Auction Department based at the Old Wharf
Salerooms, the latter becoming the current Firm -
GOLDING YOUNG & CO.
In 2006 Goldings Chartered Surveyors
merged with Grantham’s only other remaining long established
professional firm of Chartered Surveyors & Estate Agents, Escritt &
Barrell (Est. 1860) moving to 24 St Peters Hill.
ESCRITT BARRELL GOLDING.
In 2010 Colin Young
merged Golding Young &
Co. with Thomas Mawer & Son.
