I believe my great uncle Edward Goodwin of Canon Court, Wateringbury, donated his Butterfly and Moth Collection to the Maidstone Museum on his death in 1934. Since that time I think the museum was burnt down, and of course, the butterfly collection too.

RE: RE: BUTTERFLIES

The scene has changed very little since I lived in Maidstone. I hae a photograph from 2010 that is almost identical to this - except that it is coloured and digital. Are you sure that the museum burnt down?
