Strangest enquiry this week did George Wilson, the Blackheath Pedestrian, donate his toenails to the Museum in 1815? Here’s an image of him from the collection, but I can’t find any reference to his toenails...thankfully!

A wonderful early example of English eccentricity. Meet George Wilson, aka the Blackheath Pedestrian, who walked 1000 miles around Common in 20 days during the summer of 1815
