Robert Pocock Herbarium Project - Plaque to Pocock the printer
In the early 19th Century Robert Pocock was the first local printer, historian, antiquarian and natural history observer in the town of Gravesend in Kent (UK). He was a major figure in the history of the town. He had a 'museum' of artifacts, collected by himself but also acquired from all over the world. His collections included thousands of local plants in an herbarium which, in 2013, the Robert Pocock Herbarium Project set out to find at the Natural History Museum.
This memorial plaque is in Gravesend Library.
