He has not stopped working, and recently has been helping Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to prepare a guide to the flora of Iraq.
Many members will know of the location of Ince Blundell Hall between Crosby and Formby, and also may have seen Henry Blundell’s collection of statuary in the Walker Art Gallery.
Come to hear Dr Edmondson speak about the library that Henry Blundell assembled, including mention of our own Athenaeum library.
