He was born in Deansgate House, Manchester, the fourth of ten children of James Holt Heron, a cotton merchant in 1838 he was handpicked by Thomas Potter to become the first Town Clerk of Manchester. Heron was unique amongst British municipal administrators due to his longevity and influence. He remained as Town Clerk from the inception of the role until his death in 1889. Amongst his contemporaries he was described as a consummate ruler of men, where his will was considered law in all civic matters and common public perception was that he was not only the Town Clerk but Mayor and Corporation all in one. He was instrumental in bringing clean water to Manchester by constructing the Longdendale chain of reservoirs - then the largest such project in the world. He was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1869 and in 1879 Alderman John King gifted the Manchester Corporation a bust of Heron sculpted by Warrington Wood. From 1879 he served as consultant Town Clerk and spent his later years in Bournemouth. He died in Cannes, France in December 1889.

Natural History: A Woolly rhinoceros skull Pleistocene with replica horn 84cm long The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an extinct species of rhinoceros that was common throughout Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocene epoch and survived until the end of the last glacial period. As the last and most derived member of the Pleistocene rhinoceros lineage, the woolly rhinoceros was well adapted to its environment. Stocky limbs and thick woolly pelage made it well suited to the steppe-tundra environment prevalent across the Palearctic ecozone during the Pleistocene glaciations.The appearance of woolly rhinos is known from mummified individuals from Siberia as well as cave paintings. An adult woolly rhinoceros was typically around 3 to 3.8 metres in length, with an estimated weight of around 1,800-2,700 kg. The woolly rhinoceros could grow to be 2 metres tall, the body size was thus comparable to, or slightly larger than, the extant white rhinoceros.Two horns on the skull were made of keratin, the anterior horn being 61cm (24in) in length, with a smaller horn between its eyes. The rhino’s entire body was covered with a thick, shaggy coat consisting of two types of hair, a thin dense undercoat and a long rigid covering hair. Cave paintings suggest they may have had a band of darker fur around their midsections. This lot and lots 46 to 80 originally formed the core of a collection of Pleistocene (2.6million-12,000 years ago), Ice Age material in the Mammoth Museum (Museu del Mamut) in Barcelona, which closed in 2016. It was located on the Carrer de Montcada in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, in a 12th century Gothic building close to major museums such as the Museu Picasso and the Museu Europeu d’Art Modern.
