Bio Notes: William Thomas Mynors Walker was born in 1856 and practised in London. In 1912 he took on as chief assistant William Mitchell. Mitchell was born on 16 November 1874 and articled to Thomson & Sandilands of Glasgow on 9 May 1890, and remained with them as an assistant for two years after completing his apprenticeship and working on the drawings for Gartloch Asylum. During that period he attended the 'Glasgow Technical Institute', presumably the Glasgow & West of Scotland Technical College. Thereafter he was assistant to Butterworth & Duncan in Rochdale; Stevenson & Redfern, Lanchester & Rickards, and James Glen Sivewright Gibson of London; and [George] Thomas Hine of Nottingham, before joining Walker's office.

Mitchell was admitted LRIBA on 24 June 1912, his proposers being Redfern, Walker and [Robert] Douglas Wells, formerly of Stevenson & Redfern's office. At that time he was in the process of building a small house at Cheshunt on his own account, while still in Walker's employ. He was already living in Cheshunt, at 2 Mount Pleasant, Turner's Hill, and by 1914 had moved to Goff's Cottage, Church Road in the same town.

At some point Walker took Mitchell in to partnership, and Mitchell continued the practice after Walker's death in 1930. Mitchell died on 3 October 1935.
