The Bristol (Roger Feneley) 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.
This collection of instruments belonged to Mr Roger Feneley, former urologist in Bristol who died in 2018. His son Mark, also a urologist, donated them to the Museum of Urology in February 2019.
