In 1863 the biggest ever Mammoth skull to be discovered in the UK was unearthed, at the Uphill Pit on Ilford Lane. The specimen was one of the best preserved remains ever found, and included tusks that were over 10 feet long.
In charge of the delicate removal operation was Sir Antonio Brady, a Stratford based civil servant and amateur geologist. He had taken an interest in all of the previous discoveries around the area and through his own financial contribution, ensured that they were preserved and catalogued. However it was the 'Ilford Mammoth' that was his proudest find.
Brady's total haul of bones and fossils included over 100 mammoth remains and around 70 woolly rhinoceros' all of which were donated to the Natural History Museum, which is where the Ilford Mammoth skull is displayed today.

His collection of prehistoric animals is now part of the national collection at the British Museum. Sir Antonio Brady died suddenly in 1881 at the family home in Forest Lane, and was buried in St John's churchyard.

Source: Some Account of the Perigal Family (1887)
Note 2:
Little interest in silkworms was reported in the 1850’s due to pre-occupation with gold discoveries, but around 1862, Charles Brady of Manly, NSW, began experiments to breed a more resistant strain of silkworm more suited to Australian conditions. This was the time of devastation and death of the silk industries in Europe due to pebrine disease. Brady managed to import and maintain healthy strains of silkworms on his property at the Tweed River, NSW, but the project was not continued because he was not able to gain government support to expand the industry.
