Camping on Skomer Island c.1940s

Disgrifiadau

Photographs of visitors camping in tents on Skomer Island c.1947. Their tents are seen to be pitched above the North Haven lime kiln; by Captain Kite's and in the central fields to the East of the farmyard.

This comes from a collection of 40 images, found in the archive of the island's library, is accredited to Norman Wylie Moore, about whom nothing is known. The images date from the late 1940s, possibly documenting the West Wales Field Society's visit in 1947, or relating to the Wildlife Conservation Special Committee (chaired by Dr. Julian Huxley) which helped to recognise Skomer as a potential nature reserve in the same year.

At this time, the island the was being farmed by Reuben and Betty Codd.
