I've
just spent Sunday and Monday setting up the initial displays in Torrington Museum for Angling Heritage. The rod
display featured previously with rods from Winston Churchill, F M Halford, Capt.Tommy
Edwards, Fank Sawyer, Hugh Falkus, Fred J Taylor, Gerry Savage, Chris Yates,
Derrick Davenport, Peter Stone and the world’s first carbon rod is now in
place.
Also
there is a cabinet which includes a mass of ephemera from iconic anglers
including Sandy's
National Fishing Hat Collection featuring the following:-
Chris Yates (2)
Barrie Welham
Richard Walker (2)
Fred J Taylor MBE (2)
Dick Walker (2)
Des Taylor
Barrie Rickards
Finally there is a cabinet with a display of
reels across the ages.
There is also a screen where you can view images
of the River Torridge and how it has changed over the last 60 years.
Well worth a visit.
