“…of unknown provenance”

In a new article at Still on the Track, Richard Muirhead begins in fascinating style:

“I have recently uncovered a number of mystery cat stories from Cheshire [England], which is the county I live in. Whilst looking through some newspaper cuttings in the Macclesfield Library I found this cutting, which shows a man sitting at a desk (his name is Brian Beeken; unfortunately I haven`t been able to track him down) sitting next to a display with a sign saying: `Wildboarclough Outdoor Education Centre`. The article came from the now defunct Wilmslow Advertiser of March 11th 1976. It appears to show, if you look closely in the top right-hand corner, two wild-cat skins of unknown provenance.”

Yep, this is a highly intriguing story of mystery cats in the UK…
