An album of postcards from northern France. Most are postally unused.

Fourteen lantern slides showing military scenes from the First World War. The slides have been made utilising original photographs from British Official Photographs, The Illustrated London News and unattributed sources. Each is numbered but there is much disparity in the numbering system. Numbers are in the range 36-929.

The file contains a diary, itinerary and bird list compiled during a visit to France, made in response to the challenge of a BBC producer to search for a bird previously unseen, on a subsistence allowance of #25, (Condry's choice being the Black Woodpecker), list of garden butterflies, notes on Llyn Tegid and Bala, covering the bird life, geology, and history, especially the Roman road, the climate, history and bird life of Bardsey, with outline plans for talks and a newsletter, deleted observations on the African landscape and proposed discussion of afforestation in the Snowdonia National Park with official organisations.

Photographs connected with Prof Hayes research work into mushrooms and fungi. Many are of unidentified mushroom farms, also copies of C19th prints showing mushroom cultivation in France. Some photos are annotated but most are not.

Printed military maps (mostly produced by the Ordnance Survey), with annotations, of northern France and southern Belgium, including the areas around Péronne and the river Somme, Armentières, Arras, Béthune, Tournai and Ypres. Also included is a map sheet of the British front around Armentières produced for the Daily Telegraph, together with two French tourist road maps of northern France and parts of Belgium.
