Footnote
Weeks's Museum was situated in Tichbourne St. London and was full of curiosities in the main, one hundred foot long, room. The most notable item which was displayed (1864) was the musical automaton swan, now in the Bowes Museum. The Weeks's Museum later became the site of The London Pavilion (now demolished).
