Would this be the Walker of Walker, Ward & Fishwick who established a Lead
Works on Tyneside in 1778? Samuel Walker was from Rotherham and is better
known as an ironfounder, particularly for his work on cast-iron bridges,
while Richard Fishwick and Archer Ward were from Hull where both may have
been involved in the long established lead industry of that town.
If so, it might be worth looking at Rowe, D. J., *Lead Manufacturing in
Britain - A History*, (Croom Helm, 1983). And John, A. H., *The Walker
Family*, - sorry,no further details. cheers
