In 1842 Major James William Henry Walch migrated from England to Tasmania, and around 1845/6 he purchased the Hobart Town branch business of the London publishers, Thomas Tegg & Co. He ran the business with his eldest son, James Henry Brett Walch. After the father died in 1852, James Henry offered his brother, Charles Edward, a partnership in the business. Eventually the bookstore occupied a site known as Walch’s Corner at Elizabeth and Liverpool Streets.
