Walker & Ling: some history

For more photos, visit www.walkerandling.co.uk/about

Walker & Ling was established by William Ling and Samuel Walker in Bath in 1892. In 1904, Samuel Walker opened a branch of the now successful drapery business in Weston-super-Mare. His son Charles Walker ('Charlie') became a partner in 1908 and took over sole ownership in 1925 when his father died. The Ling family came out of the partnership in 1936, and Walkers have run the business ever since.

In 1942, with almost 100 staff in the Weston store, the shop was almost entirely destroyed by bombing. It was later redesigned and rebuilt, but the back stock rooms are still original brickwork.

After the war, Charles’ sons Peter and Roger joined the business. In 1954 the store celebrated 50 years of trading in Weston. The rebuild of the store was completed in 1959, including the beautiful lift that still operates very happily today! Tony Walker, then 4 years old, reopened the store.
