British Bear CollectionBritish Bear Collection

This British bear collection is a unique array of bears portraying the history of British bears and bear-making throughout the last century up to the present times.

The collection has been expanded by Carolyn Parsons. It includes a rare red Farnell bear from 1910 and a 1936 Merrythought Bobby Bruin. It incorporates the former Teddy Melrose Museum from the borders of Scotland.

All the major manufacturers are represented in displays of bears big and small, old and new, famous and not so famous! They are joined by many other "furry friends".
