The Mollusc - AKA "Chesterfield Snail"

Last week I decided to pop along and take a look at the Mollusc, based on the edge of Chesterfield in a small park by a housing estate. Originally I wanted to be there for sunset, but when I went by, there were a fair few kids playing football on the park.

That wasn't all, after that, I caught the end of a documentary about the prisoners who escaped from Alcatraz and how bones had been found on a shore nearby. They went on to say that these could belong to "Prisoner X" and will do tests.  About 10 minutes later, after talking about other bits and bobs, they got around to the results. Turned out that they weren't the remains of Prisoner X.  Again, stating the obvious, the narrator said "If the bone...
