Herbert Walker

Walkers Studios in St. Thomas Street operated from the 1920s through to the late 20th century. The company was started by Herbert Walker who originally traded just under his own name from at least 1909 to 1921 when he appears in local directories at a studio in Vernon Place. They specialised in wedding and outdoor group photographs.
