James Smith was Walton�??s Town Crier around 1900 and quoting from Bernard Norman�??s book Walton-on-the-Naze in Old Picture Postcards, "He was an ex-naval man who lived on Walton Square. For a shilling he would cry the details of any forthcoming event all round the town and when he finished his notices he removed his hat and said �??God save the Queen and all her loyal subjects�?? �?? He is seen in the above picture in his pony and trap coming down Newgate Street into the Six Releat"
