The Derby (Richard Stanford) Collection
One of the reasons for the original creation of the Museum of Urology was to bring together collections of urological instruments from hospitals and private collections throughout the country, so anyone could share them and see them easily. These collections, both large and small, have been photographed so they can remain in their hospitals or collections, whilst also being showcased in the Museum of Urology.
The Derby Collection is housed at The Royal Derby Hospital; some of the collection is displayed in cabinets in the Urology Daycase Unit and Outpatient Department. I was invited to photograph the whole collection by Mr Richard Stanford.
