Description
The R.E. Kay Collection comprises 39 notebooks and two indices, the collection records a series of walks or drives in Wales and the borders, and occasionally elsewhere in the UK, undertaken by Richard E. Kay between 1930 and 1990. The books meticulously document a wealth of archaeological, architectural and antiquarian detail encountered during each tour, and are beautifully illustrated by R.E. Kay, who was a talented draughtsman. In addition to forming an attractive and unusual set of records, the notebooks include a good deal of important information about features which may have since vanished or are not noted elsewhere.
