- Object name(s):
- pipe; smoking pipe; Terracotta Tobacco Pipe
- Brief description:
- From 1871 the Watcombe Terracotta Clay Company in Torquay began to produce a wide range of pottery using their characteristic red clay. The designs were often based on classical shapes and themes. However they also produced everyday items, such as this pipe, which dates from about 1880.
The body of the Watcombe and Hele Cross terracotta was often left unglazed but sometimes it might be enhanced with small areas of blue enamel. This was made from the same pigments as glaze, but applied with a flux so that it fused with the surface at a lower temperature.

- Object name(s):
- fossil: mammal; Rhinocerotidae: Coelodonta antiquitatis: woolly rhinoceros; woolly rhinoceros tooth
- Brief description:
- Kent’s Cavern is a natural system of caves near Torquay. It was called Kent’s Hole until 1865. Excavations revealed ice-age creatures, and some of the earliest human remains and stone tools in the country. Fossil remains date to the Pleistocene 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. During the last Ice Age red sediments called 'cave earth' flowed into the cave. They covered earlier layers of crystalline stalagmites, breccia and animal remains. When archaeologists excavated, they found the cave earth to be rich in human and animal bones.

- Object name(s):
- bird; FRINGILLIDAE: Fringilla coelebs Linnaeus: common chaffinch; common chaffinch
- Brief description:
- Carl Linnaeus gave the chaffinch its scientific name in 1758. He called it ‘coelebs’ meaning bachelor because he noticed that in Sweden, where he lived, winter flocks were mostly made up of male birds.
Chaffinch migrate in single sex flocks because the females fly much farther than the males in search of rich food supplies. In winter the number of chaffinches in Britain almost doubles when migrant male birds join our resident flocks. Females usually fly farther to Ireland.

- Brief description:
- Kent’s Cavern is a natural system of caves near Torquay. It was called Kent’s Hole until 1865. Excavations revealed ice-age creatures, and some of the earliest human remains and stone tools in the country. Fossil remains date to the Pleistocene 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. During the last Ice Age red sediments called 'cave earth' flowed into the cave. They covered earlier layers of crystalline stalagmites, breccia and animal remains. When archaeologists excavated, they found the cave earth to be rich in human and animal bones.
