Stevie,
J A Walker was (according to Graham Turner) in business in Alnwick from 1929 - 1938.
I know he was listed as a Fishing Rod Maker, at Hotspur Place, Alnwick in 1934.
I believe he may have continued in business after the war. He supplied the trade with split cane rods and I've been told stories of the shop boy at Dingleys nipping round to Walkers to pick up a few rods to supply Dingley customers.
Not to be confused with "J J S Walker" of "Walker Bampton" fame, same town, different people
Brian
