Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 8,754 specimens collected within 10 miles of East Point Manor between 1871 and 1975: 7,868 Animalia, 828 Plantae, 47 Fungi, 6 Unrecorded, 5 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Bushell, A. J. Eames, A. J. Pieters and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
