The Sheffield Whale

[flightliner 10]

I remember one dinnertime going to see it, maybe not the one the OP mentioned as this was in the very late sixties/ early seventies.

I think it was 4/- to go in, it was a blue whale that was so old it was falling apart - a right proper swizz!

I saw it in the 50s. It had its mouth propped open with an Acrow.

I also saw it in the 50's with my father and brother.I can remember it being coated in something like bitumen to preserve it.

Was it like the one you used to walk through its mouth to get into Bellview Zoo?. I seem to remember that being blue also.

To anybody, but particularly Jon, the whale did exist as my husband He remembers seeing it. The whale was on a long trailer and possibly situated between the old Travellers pub and Milletts army stores.
