Over
the years,the Dartnells worked hard to build the heritage of the pharmacy.
They managed to accumulate a collection of apothecary, medical and pharmaceutical
antiques. These included carboys
(the large oval glass containers), antique medical measuring equipment
and containers. Two weeks before Christmas 1998, the pharmacy was shattered
when a truck smashed through the front window. With one strike the entire
collection displayed in that window was gone. Unfortunately, a number
of these items are believed to be irreplaceable as they were collected
from the 18th century.
This collection is of great interest to a variety of people and groups. The collection has attracted both interstate and international visitors and is also a source of education for schools. Students will find Dartnell's Pharmacy an interesting excursion. |
