Walmsley plaque unveiled

A short video can be seen here

The plaque at 'Riverdale'
November 15th 2008: Society members met at 'Riverdale' – Leo's 'Dalegarth' at Hawkswick in the Yorkshire Dales. The owners, Clive and Margaret Taylor, have mounted a plaque to commemorate the writing there of Master Mariner in 1948.


More information regarding Leo's tenancy of the cottage can be found in Angler's Moon, Chapter 10, p.91 (Walmsley Society, 2008).

An account, 'Leo in Littondale' written by Jane Ellis, can be found in Vol. IX of the Society Journal, Spring 1989. It is also reproduced in the latest Spring 2009 edition.


Walmsley film in new book!

A new book, Made in Yorkshire, celebrates 38 feature films made in the area and includes Turn of the Tide, based on Leo Walmsley's Three Fevers.

Written by Tony Earnshaw, the Yorkshire Post's film critic and Artistic Director of the Bradford International Film Festival, the Society's Jane Ellis helped with information and research on the chapter dedicated to the Walmsley film. For further information of what is informally described as a "coffee table book", use this link.
