Walker's Court

The passage dates from around the early 1700s and escaped modernisation in the late nineteenth century so that it retains its original narrow layout.

The two sides of Walker's Court are joined halfway down by a privately owned bridgeway that was once part of the Raymond Revuebar.

Building leases were granted in the area to a number of tradesmen in 1719 and 1720, one of whom was John Walker of St. Martin's, a bricklayer, but it is uncertain if that is the source of the street name.

[2] From 1873, attempts began to improve the south side of Little Pulteney Street which was described as containing "narrow, ill ventilated Courts and Alleys, some of them open to the sky, but others running under portions of houses".

[4] Walker's Court is crossed at first floor level by an architecturally distinctive bridge with leaded bay windows which joins the entrance to the theatre to the main auditorium.
