Modern Walker Street is a fairly nondescript road off Wellington town centre comprising a mixture of businesses and residential properties. In this view the single storey building houses insurance brokers. The origin of the name is from the time when fleeces were trodden or 'walked' here; the location was also used for sheep sales.
