Exciting Expansion For Tunbridge Wells Jeweller
Walsh Bros Unveils Walsh at George Farrer: A New Chapter for a Historic Jeweller.
This month saw the highly anticipated opening of Walsh at George Farrer, bringing a new chapter to this long-standing Tunbridge Wells gem. Located at 19 High Street in a stunning Grade II listed building, this expansion by Walsh Bros blends timeless heritage with modern craftsmanship.
This exciting venture builds on the vision of Richard Burrow, a Tonbridge native who began his jewellery career in 1986 with F. Hinds before gaining experience in various independent jewellers. In 2003, Richard took over the ownership of Walsh Bros Jewellers on Mount Pleasant Road and is renowned for its exceptional customer service offering antique and modern jewellery, high-quality repairs and bespoke, handmade jewellery – now also available at the iconic George Farrer location.
Expertise Meets History
Renowned for its exquisite jewellery and unparalleled expertise, Walsh Bros proudly brings its legacy to the iconic George Farrer Jewellers, a historic site established in 1876. Honouring the legacy of George Farrer, Walsh Bros has reinstated his name in its trading identity, while carefully preserving the building’s ornate frontage and period interiors.
