Hi Martin,
Congratulations! I had visited the Leicester City Museum several
times, when I was studying at University of Leicester in 2005 and
2006. The museum located at the New Walk road connected to the
University road. I still have the photo of the Barwell meteorite
mainmass which I took from the museum. If you need the photo, I can
send it to you.
Best regards!
Bryan
