For her trip back into history, this week, Margaret Mills took us back to the 11th June 1910 when headlines in the Evening Express that day included items guaranteed to set pulses racing,  such as news that just outside Epping Railway station a return ticket to Penzance, a piece of rope, a flat iron and a gentleman’s hat were found in the undergrowth.

Riveting stuff!

It was also reported that a smartly dressed man wearing a hat, had also been spotted emerging from the long grass.

It seems that the incident was regarded as of sufficient interest to warrant an in depth police investigation with police officers arriving in some strength.

It was apparently considered of sufficient concern that a doctor was also asked to attend.

If you missed what Margaret told me today, you can listen again here: –

Can you imagine anything like this happening today?

I very much hope to see you once again next week,
