Springs was started in 1964 by Geoffrey Harris and his wife Josephine.  Josephine's father Mr Richard Pinney had started a smoking business in Orford, Sulfolk after the Second World War.  This business is still going today called Pinney's of Orford and the Butley Orford Oysterage.  There is also an off shoot of this which trades from Scotland and is called Pinney's of Scotland.

Having seen the potential in smoked salmon, Geoffrey, Josephine and their three sons Richard, David and Martin spent a holiday in Orford to learn how to smoke salmon and also to see how the smokers Richard Pinney had built, operated.  These smokers are the traditional smoking kilns.  Once Geoffrey and Josephine had learnt all they could the family returned to Edburton, West Sussex and built their own kilns which are designed to burn oak logs.  At the same time they converted an old forge into premises to work from and Springs Smoked Salmon was born.

The forge has since been converted into a luxurious seafood oasis containing over 200 different seafood lines plus an extensive range of delicatessen products.  Customers travel from far and wide to visit this Aladdin's cave tucked away in the quaint little village of Edburton....

But now thanks to Mrs Julie Harris you can have the gourmet smoked salmon along with some of the other delicious products delivered to your door!
