FOREIGN COINS FOREIGN COINS THE WALKER COLLECTION
The following coins are part of the estate of the late Miss Pamela Joan Walker, daughter of Robert Cecil James Walker. Her father’s collection was accumulated in the 1920s and ’30s, his enthusiasm for coins perhaps being inspired by his duties with the Midland Bank Ltd. in the City of London. Details of many of the coins are noted in his meticulous manuscript on individual mini-envelopes, reflecting his researches as a member of a north London numismatic society. After his death in 1938 the collection was retained intact by his daughter.

Early in his reign George IV instigated improvements to Hyde Park. Decimus Burton (1800-1881) created the Triumphal screen at Hyde Park Corner and also the Wellington Arch. Sir John Rennie (1794-1874), designed a new bridge to cross the Serpentine, then a river, which formally split Hyde Park from Kensington Gardens. The bridge opened in 1826. Whilst the old bridge had formed part of the boundary, this boundary now ran across the new and much wider bridge and the problem was only solved by the placing of iron railings along the middle of the bridge itself. The key is to a gate in these railings. See Thomas Dugdale and William Burnett, Curiosities of Great Britain: England & Wales Delineated ..., vol. 8:
‘This bridge, on the Hyde Park side, affords persons on horseback and on foot, a communication between the north and south sides of the park, and being divided along the centre by an iron railing, the inner half of the bridge forms the passage for those who frequent Kensington-gardens. Its cost was £36,500.’
