Northern Briars is a British pipe-making company founded by Ian Walker in 1998, continuing a family legacy in the industry. Ian is a third-generation pipe maker; his grandfather began crafting pipes in the early 20th century, and his father, Peter Walker, also worked in the trade. Uniquely, Ian crafts his pipes aboard a narrowboat equipped with a workshop, traveling the canals of England while he works. Based in Manchester, Northern Briars specializes in handcrafted pipes made from high-quality Mediterranean briar. Ian Walker combines traditional techniques with his own artistic flair, producing a range of classic and freehand designs. Over the years, Northern Briars has gained international recognition among pipe enthusiasts for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, solidifying its reputation in the modern pipe-making industry.
