Detail
See an extraordinary 18th century shell collection on display at Chesters Roman Fort. It was believed to be lost, but was returned to English Heritage after being saved from a skip. There are spectacular shells on display, including an extinct species and several shells believed to have been sent back from Captain Cook’s ill-fated third voyage.
