Collection of items relating to T.G. Walker

Collection of items relating to the naturalist, broadcaster, teacher, and author Thomas George Walker (1900 Aug. 14 - 1984 Jun. 7), also known as 'Wack' or 'Wac'. Most of the items in this collection are from the time he lived at Bodrwyn Bach, Bodorgan, as well as Ty'n Buarth. He was married to Margot, whom he survived, and spent a large part of his later years visiting friends in England, the Netherlands, and Portugal, as well as travels further afield on cargo-ships. He would detail the numerous ships he 'spotted' in his diaries and notebooks, which also included useful information about the weather. A keen bird-watcher, these were also detailed and photographed. [It is likely that this collection is only a partial-Fonds, and various other personal papers of his legacy are likely to exist elsewhere].
