Walturdaw started making films in 1901, However, the BFI suggests they only started making films in 1903. It appears that the company began trading in 1904. According to the Colonial Film: Moving Images of the British Empire website Walturdaw was considered to be one of the leading British firms before 1914. In 1907 the company introduced their own synchronised sound film system, the Cinematophone.

In total Walturdaw made some 189 films. A number of these films were made in a studio in Sir Edward Watkin's  pleasure grounds at Wembley Park, north-west London, after Walturdaw took over and adapted the old Variety Hall, a large wooden variety theatre, there in 1907.
