Owner - James Cranfield, B.Sc. (hons)

Shop and museum at 1193 London Road, Leigh on Sea, Essex, SS9 3JB, UK.

I am always interested in acquiring new items for my collection - so if you, or anyone you know, has got a mangy mouse or a magnificent moose - let me know! Donations of any kind warmly welcomed.

I also offer an identification service. Have you found a weird bug in your breakfast bowl? Or a skull in the woods? Or maybe your family has got a stuffed head or bird that you do not know what it is. Send me a photo and I will be do my best to tell you what it is.
