Belle View Zoological Gardens, Manchester

In 1905, Brazenor mounted an Indian rhinoceros for Belle Vue Zoological Gardens.^[16]

Manchester Museum

In 1898, Brazenor spent three weeks assembling the skeleton of an 11-metre (36 ft) juvenile sperm whale which had been beached in Massachusetts in February 1896.^[17] It was purchased from the Natural Science Establishment by the director of Manchester Museum William Evans Hoyle in 1897,^[10] and shipped from Rochester, New York, via the Manchester Ship Canal to the museum, in three crates.^[17][18][19] "The whale was suspended from the ceiling of the mammal gallery, where it became an iconic specimen, emblematic of the Museum as a whole".^[10]

In 1900, Brazenor mounted two northern fulmars for Manchester Museum.^[20][21] In 1905, he mounted Maggie the giraffe for the museum. This giraffe skin and that of the Indian rhinoceros for Belle Vue Zoo were presented by Messrs Jennison, who managed the zoo.^[16] During the early 20th century, Brazenor mounted the Dundee Wolf (an imported skin from Canada via Dundee Museum), giving it a frightening aspect with painted "blood" on its teeth, in accordance with the archetypes of that era.^[22] At an unknown date, Brazenor mounted the Manchester Polar Bear, which was imported from the Arctic via Captain Milne of the whaling ship SS Eclipse, and Dundee Museum.^[23]

Salford Museum

In 1907, Brazenor mounted an Asian elephant for Salford Museum. This elephant had been imported alive from Burma along with two others in 1895. It lived for twelve years at the Belle Vue Zoological Gardens, giving rides to children: "His docility and urbanity of temper made him valuable as a riding elephant, and he became a great favourite with both children and adults who visited the gardens". The elephant died on 11 December 1906, of peritonitis, and the zoo-owner George Jennison donated the dead specimen to the museum. As a specimen of the largest living land mammal, it was exhibited alongside the smallest living mammal, a shrew.^[24] In 1909, Brazenor received praise for his work at Salford Museum:^[25]

Under the supervision of Mr Ben H. Mullen, director of the Salford Museums, the natural history collection since being transferred to Buile Hill has been considerably improved by arrangement and judicious additions. In no department perhaps is this so marked as the zoological sections. The elephant, for instance, mounted in such realism, is an attractive and useful exhibit, and presents a striking contrast to the shrew mouse alongside. The work that has been done among the British birds is most effective, and by the re-mounting of old specimens and the addition of new ones a collection once somewhat dilapidated is being raised into an attractive and educationally useful possession for the town. A remarkably fine case is that of marine diving birds arranged on the ledges of a cliff showing eggs, young and adult birds. Opposite this case is another containing a group of the principal wingless birds, ranging in size from the ostrich to the kiwi or apteryx. Several representatives of the Carnivora are handsomely mounted. The lion, tiger, Hymalayan bear, hyena, and puma are in surroundings suggestive of natural environment. In the same room is a large case devoted to the exhibition of a fine collection of heads of big game collected in Rhodesia by Mr Robert E. Hailwood and presented by him to the Natural History Museum of his native town. The collection is one which any museum might be proud to possess. Every month this museum increases in importance and attractiveness. The taxidermy, which is of a first-rate order, is being done by Mr Harry Brazenor under the general supervision of Mr Ben H. Mullen.^{[25][nb 10]}

Salford Museum passed all its taxidermy to other museums in 1982. Leeds City Museum received seven examples of taxidermy by Brazenor, from Salford: they are the Salford night monkey, the Salford brown woolly monkey, the Salford orangutan, the Salford Himalayan black bear, the Salford leopard, the Salford tiger (1914),^[26] and the Salford wedge-capped capuchin.^{[nb 11][27]}

Hancock Museum, Newcastle upon Tyne

In 1908, Brazenor mounted a "fine bison bull" for Hancock Museum, Newcastle upon Tyne. Museum records describe it as, "American Bull mounted. Old bull, last of original pure stock in herd at Haggerston Castle, Northumberland".^[28][29] In 1905 a bison fund was organised, for the preservation and mounting of the skin.^[30]
