Some additional notes: Thomas Walker took over his Royal Museum from Mr. Vallance, as
his advertisements in trade directories and guides like the one
above always stated. A little earlier than this, in 1864, he advertised
as spar & marble museum & manufacturer as well as the proprietor
of boats & Lovers' Walks. He'd also advertised his Museum
in both Kelly's 1855 Directory and Whites 1857 Directory. Mr.
Walker was born at Wirksworth.
