James Walker Ltd
In its early publicity, this enterprise described itself as ‘London’s leading jewellers’.  Its roots can be traced to the first decade of the twentieth century, when Sidney Sanders (1871-1942) and William Frederick Metherell (1877-1936) combined to launch Sanders & Co. In 1905, this firm advertised as a manufacturing jeweller at Rye Lane, Peckham, in south east London. By 1908, Sanders & Co had a Brixton outlet (which was its headquarters) and branches at Peckham, Streatham, and Oxford Street. It sold watches, clocks, and electro-plated goods. A local jewellery shop at 387 Brixton Road, James Walker, was acquired and incorporated in 1911 (Walker’s was said to have been originally established in 1823).
After the War, Sanders & Co continued to trade under Metherell, but Sidney Sanders left the company so that he could develop James Walker as a retail chain. During the interwar period, James Walker (Jeweller) Ltd opened over seventy branches in London and the provinces. Expansion during the difficult 1930s was funded partly by borrowing. In 1933, £215,000 in debenture stock was issued after the business was reconstructed as James Walker, Goldsmith & Silversmith, Ltd.  In 1938, Century House at 245 Streatham High Road was opened as the firm’s headquarters. 
Sidney Sanders, of Doric House, Shirley Hills Road, Addington, Surrey, died on 25 July 1942. He left £169,002. In the following year, £200,000 in preference stock was offered on the Stock Exchange as a public issue. The ordinary share capital of the firm, which was privately held, was £217,272. Sidney was succeeded as chairman by his son, Gerald Sidney Sanders (1911-1982). After the War, James Walker Ltd was reputed to be the second largest multiple retailer of jewellery and silverware in Britain (after H. Samuel Ltd). Gerald Sanders described the firm as ‘the working man’s jewellers’. In 1969, James Walker and Sanders & Co were merged under the Walker name. In 1979, Walker’s acquired two more businesses, Arthur Rayner and Philip Frances (Jewellers).  Until 1979, Gerald Sanders and Anthony W. Metherell (1919-1994) – William Frederick’s son – were joint managing directors. Gerald S. Sanders died 15 August 1982. In 1984, the 300-branch jewellery shop retailer H. Samuel made a successful £29m bid for Walker’s (which was losing money from its 110 outlets). Anthony William Metherell died on 15 October 1994.
