Hello - I hope you can help me with a bit of research I'm doing.
I'm trying to find out about Thomas Walker, as in the Thomas Walker building in St Paul's Square.
I understand he was a leader of the city council for a while and that he instigated the replacement of the city's block paving with blue brick, so was known as Blue-brick Walker. He also owned the Thomas Walker building, which was a bucklemakers.
That's all I know and I can't find a resource anywhere to read more about him. Can anyone help, either with first-hand knowledge or a book/website with more information?
Many thanks
