I remember this being talked about on the radio a while ago - I thought it was earlier than the 70s though.The whale was dead incidentally, and toured the country as a sort of travelling show. I think there might even have been more than one.

I asked the same question back in September - "A Whale in Leeds ???", but mine was earlier. Use the search facility and just type in whale. Its true apparently. Check the address left there by JanC.Merry Christmas everyone.

There is an interesting book on this very subject and spookily enough about how the interest grew from one post on a Barnsley FC message board.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Barnsley-Whale- ... 161&sr=8-1
