Comments on: At Stephen Walters & Sons, Silk Weavers https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/03/at-stephen-walters-sons-silk-weavers-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 28 Feb 2023 05:14:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Nisha https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/03/at-stephen-walters-sons-silk-weavers-o/#comment-1502843 Tue, 28 Feb 2023 05:14:39 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=191173#comment-1502843 Something about this post rang a bell when I really didn’t expect it to – about a year ago, around the time of publication of this post in fact, I developed a little hankering for silk neckties and one of the specimens I acquired was a beautiful red, blue and green check one – a quick peek at the label shows “Stephen Walters & Sons Ltd, silk weavers for eight generations” (presumably a now-vintage tie). It’s a nice surprise!

It always fascinates me to see the family likeness passed down the generations . I know that some people just dont always like their photos published.
Thank you for this very interesting story.

Long may it continue to flourish!

PS Did anyone else think that the woman weaving the Coronation silk looks very like the Queen?
