Emery Walker’s House is one of 17 Georgian houses built on the north bank of the River Thames between Chiswick Mall and Lower Mall in the 1750s. The area soon became a hot spot for members of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Creatives such as embroiderer May Morris, the daughter of Jane and William Morris, lived next door to Emery at number 8. May lived with close friend and lodger George Bernard Shaw, a famous playwright.

Other prominent figures included bookbinder Thomas Cobden-Sanderson, Edward Johnston, who designed the typeface used throughout the London Underground, and leading wood engraver W.H. Hooper.

They were said to visit each other's homes regularly and congregate for a late-night chat around the post box at the end of the terrace.
