He was joined by Henry Hall and the business became Walker & Hall in 1853 with a factory at Howard Street, Sheffield and showrooms at 45 Holborn Viaduct, London. Branches were later opened throughout Great Britain and worldwide. Walker & Hall was made a limited liability company Walker & Hall Ltd in 1920 and combined in 1963 under the British Silverware Ltd with Mappin & Webb and Elkington & Co.
