Foster & Son Bespoke Shoemaker | Interview w/ Andy Murphy

Foster & Son traces its origins to 1840. During the Second World War in 1941 Mr. Foster was killed by a bomb at Waterloo station, but coincidentally another shoemaker Charles Chester lost his premises in a direct hit from another bomb. Their leather merchant put them together and he moved in with Mrs. Foster at her 5 Eagle Place workshop, between Piccadilly and Jermyn Street. The firm soon moved to 5 Duke of York Street St. James’s and then to 83 Jermyn Street in 1966. Today 83 Jermyn Street still has the feel of a family-owned business. Andrew Murphy visits the Hanger Project to teach us about the rich history of the firm and the iconic models that Foster & Son is known for.
