Whitworth screwdrivers, crescent wrenches and the like. And maybe a
Whitworth crosspoint screwdriver and a Stillson (pipe wrench)

Aw, that's too bad. You could probably get started by buying some cheap
hand wrenches (the kind that don't fit anyway) and grinding them out a
bit to fit the next higher size.

But a Whitworth crescent wrench -- that's hard. It uses a special thread
form on the screw an rack that can only be machined on a British lathe
using special adapters hand-built by gnomes in Scotland.

So I guess you'll have to find the real deal, eh?
