Various images of the farm buildings, Skomer Island, c. 1999
Description
Photographs of the farmhouse and surrounding buildings in the centre of Skomer Island, including grazing horses and the still intact balcony.
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.
