The Walter Ashe Radio
Company, featured in this 1955 issue of Radio & Television News magazine,
was a British radio manufacturer that operated from the 1920s to the 1950s. The
company was founded by Walter Ashe, who was an engineer and inventor. In the early
days, the company produced crystal radios, which were simple radios that used a
piece of crystal to detect radio waves. However, the company quickly expanded its
product range to include valve radios, which were more advanced and offered better
sound quality. During World War II, the company produced radios for the British
armed forces, including the famous "Gibson Girl" portable radio, which was used
by soldiers in the field. After the war, the company continued to produce radios
for the civilian market, including the popular "Waverley" series of radios. In the
1950s, the company began to face increasing competition from foreign manufacturers,
and it struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing technology in the radio industry.
In 1958, the company was acquired by Ultra Radio and Television, and it eventually
ceased production. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Walter Ashe Radio
Company played an important role in the history of British radio manufacturing.
The company's radios were well-regarded for their quality and performance, and they
helped to popularize radio as a form of entertainment in the early 20th century.
Today, vintage Walter Ashe radios are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
