Today's Daily Telegraph has an obituary of Harold Hems, who died this month. In 1990, he and his wife discovered the bones of a mammoth on the beach of West Runton. As the obituary says,
The West Runton Elephant has helped scientists to re-create prehistoric north Norfolk as a rich landscape of meandering rivers, with swamps and reeds and areas of woodland, roamed by wandering bears, mammoths, wild boars, rhinos and deer.
Coot Club (not to say George Owdon) would have had their work cut out to deal with these.
