I would like to think that it was named after Retlaw, (Walter spelled back'ards) but I feel sure that the Peel family,who owned the land Walter St is built on, named it after one of their sons. His names were Walter Spencer, so Spencer St may be named after him too ( on their land), just as William St and Robert St are named after other sons. . It is interesting too that next to Walter St is Oxford St, and near to Spencer St is Cambridge St.
