== History ==
The RNLI station opened in 1884 although this was not the first lifeboat operated from Walton. In 1880 a private lifeboat operated from the town which was owned by a Mr George Polly. The first RNLI lifeboat was a 37-foot self-righting lifeboat called ''Honourable Artillery Company '' (ON 31). This lifeboat was built by Forrest and Son of Limehouse and was paid for by the drama group of the Honourable Artillery Company which had been stationed at Walton in 1860. This lifeboat was stationed in a purpose built Lifeboat House to the northern end of the seafront in Walton. The station was officially opened on the 18 November 1884 by Augusta Mary Elizabeth Cavendish-Bentinck, 1st Baroness Bolsover in front of a large gathered crowd. This Boathouse is nowadays the home of the Walton Maritime Museum.
