A lifelong love of the outdoors and admiration for Alfred Wainwright inspired Yorkshire-born engineer Chris to build an archive that would honour the world-famous fellwalker and safeguard his legacy . Assisted by his wife , Priscilla , Chris has amassed an extensive private collection of Wainwright material . In 2019 , he became the custodian of all existing Westmorland Gazette Wainwright book printing materials , including negatives , plates , gold blocking , artwork , documentation and more . He also created a popular Facebook group , Alfred Wainwright Books & Memorabilia , and a website , alfredwainwright . co . uk , which will eventually catalogue Wainwright ’ s entire publishing and printing history . Chris , the author of Wainwright Memories , has published numerous articles about Wainwright and has appeared on television and radio to discuss the life , work and achievements of the late , great fellwanderer .
