Postcard puzzles
The best selection to surface to date has come from Arthur Peach at Mow Cop village, on the Staffs/Cheshire border. And his collection has produced a whole host of history mysteries for your perusal.
According to Arthur, the postcards originally belonged to a Mr Worrall, a school teacher who was well known in the area about 70 years ago, and, again according to Arthur, he was a highly intelligent and multifaceted character.
Killer Mile - truth or fiction?
Our postcard (top of the page) shows what Arthur thinks is a scene from Mow Cop. The villagers, it's said, ran up the hill once a year in what was described as a "killer mile" event. These motorcyclists may be on that route.
But... is that likely? is the "killer mile" truth or fiction? is this scene in Mow Cop at all?
