Cheers & Smith was an architectural partnership formed by Henry Arthur Cheers (1853-1916) and Joseph Smith (1862-?) about 1895 although it is uncertain whether this was a formal partnership. Joseph Smith worked out of an office at 24 Richmond Terrace, Blackburn, while Cheers continued to maintain his office at Twickenham, Middlesex, where he had been in practice since the early 1880s. The list of known works suggests that generally commissions in north-west England were undertaken jointly while those in the south were carried out by Cheers alone. Such a partnership arrangement was not unknown – see for example Edward Salomons.
