Return to the top of page Our members all enjoy shell collecting but some have added new shell related ideas to increase their enjoyment
One of our members, Tom Walker, has a fine collection of postage stamps depicting shells from across the world. It is available on the web courtesy of Guido Poppe who hosts more than 6000 images from Tom's collection. Of course, one of the objectives is to find and collect the shell that matches the stamp!Go to Tom Walker Collection, click on Shell Topics and select Shells on Stamps.
If you like artistic creativity, then Peter Coke, who sadly died in 2008, reached new heights of excellence with the use of shells in designing display pieces. His collection is now housed at the Fishermen’s Heritage Centre, Sheringham, Norfolk; do go and visit there. Full details about the exhibit are given on the Centre's web site.
