We had gone in my mate's car down Coppermill Lane, under the very low bridge and out into the area between the railway line and the marina. It was a very foggy night and on the ground were some very odd looking lumps. I remember that we were all a bit scared (we were all stil in our teens) and My mate Steve, turned the car around and gunned it back out along Coppermill Lane. We saw a police car and reported what we had seen. The coppers thought we were a bit silly I think. It was later reported in the local Guardian paper, that the remains (carcasses) of several large cats (Lions and Tigers etc) had been found on the marshland. Odd, bizarre, but true.
