Walter Slade (1854 – 13 June 1919) was a nineteenth-century British runner who set a number of world records for the mile as an amateur, but never became a professional athlete.

The children were born whilst the family resided at Kemnal House in Kent, leased by Adolphus until 1871.

Of Walter's siblings at appears that ten survived to adulthood (his brothers, Adolphus Hulme, Edmund, Ernest, Sidney and Herbert, and his sisters Fanny, Florence, Amy, Ada and Laura).

Chinnery went on to found the London Athletic Club, but his record was broken on 3 April 1868 by Walter Gibbs.

[4] This event was known as the Strangers' Open Mile, and it was at this race that in 1868 Chinnery had set his record previously.

[3] Slade was by contemporary accounts about six feet in height and weighing over eleven stone when in strict training.
