Re: Accy museum exhibits dumped on tip....
The Rimington Collection must have been huge and very fine, perhaps one of the great "lost" British collections.
Some of the Rimington mineral collection was donated to the Accrington Museum ca. 1900 (possibly around 10,000 specimens!) along with his herbarium. The Accrington collections, in turn, were dispersed (a polite term for "destroyed, discarded, sold or given away")
