William Walker pub

The William Walker pub was previously known as the Old Market Inn, being that it is situated on the corner of Market Street where back in the 14th century there used to be a street market. The pub is now named after William Walker the diver who saved Winchester Cathedral from collapsing. You can see clearly from the building when it was built.

    A wonderful memorial, to a brave and tenacious man. Be nice to be renumbered by a pub named in your honour.

    That's a beautiful pub ! When my son lived in London for 10 years, I loved to go into pubs to draw people there. I still have my little drawing book.
