Freak lamb is added


A SEVEN-LEGGED lamb which once starred in freak shows during the Victorian age has made a “comeback” for a world exclusive at the famous Museum of Childhood at Ribchcstcr. The spring lamb, pres­


to museum


erved for posterity by a skilful taxidermist, has b een p u rc h a s e d by museum owner Mrs Ankie


and adjourned at Airedale Hospital, Steeton, on


Wild from the Lord McAI- pine collection of curiosi­ ties, recently auctioned at Sotheby’s, London. “Freak shows were very


popular during the 19th century, although in modern times we have tended to frown upon the Victorians’ interest jn such curiosities." she said. “However, we thought


it would be of interest here because of sheep farming in the area. Some people who have already seen the lamb have com­ mented on the type of unusual characteristics they have seen among local lambs from time to time.”Mrs Wild said she intends to keep it oh per­ manent display at the museum unless many peo­


ple object. “ Nothing is really


unnatural, because nature has produced every bring


thing,” she added. Tea and cakes


MANY cups of tea and home-made cakes were served by members of St Marv’s Thursday Evening Fellowship at the home of Mrs Connie Seagar, Pim­ lico Road, Clitheroe. A total of £175 was


raised for Clitheroe Parish Hall funds. Leader Mrs Gladvs Parker thanked Mrs Seagar for allowing the use of her home and presented her with a
