J. R. R. Tolkien convalesed in this building on Cottingham Road during WW1. Then it was the Brooklands Military Hospital. Now part of Hull University. See the blue plaque to the right of the right door.

We did it, we listed our four recent faux cat skull art pieces. Excited to make more!
3D printed from a scan of a real skull, hand painted and mounted on wood then embellished with real natural moss.
