The Hippo of Allenton!

Another collage I'm afraid. Went for a walk to Allenton today and thought I would photograph the new(ish) seating area that has replica bones on it of the hippopotamus that was found under the Crown Pub in 1895!

Seen the bones at the Derby Musuem a couple of times and can't quite believe that a hippo ever roamed around Derby. Maybe on a nice day like today but not with our usual weather - still it's probably the nearest I'll get to a safari. Took these quick as people thought I was mad but could have done with some Mr Sheen to get some really nice reflections!!
