Taxidermy: A Cased Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago), circa 1899, by John Jackson, Taxidermist, Reid's Chambers, 53 Grey Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, a full mount adult stood upon a painted cork wood base, set against a plain white painted interior, enclosed within a pine framed single-glass display case, 35cm by 15cm by 30cm, signed to interior upper left, J.Jackson 1899

John Jackson had probably the most prestigious address (on Grey Street) of any of Newcastle's professional Bird and Animal Preservers. He was trading at 26 High Bridge between 1888 and 1897 and later at Reid's Chambers, 53 Grey Street 1898-1906. The two addresses may have been the same building, and several businesses operated from the address. The building still stands, on the corner of High Bridge and Grey Street (south side of High Bridge, west side of Grey Street)
