Officers are still to identify the body they found near to the defunct Marazion railway station on August 15 at 8.50pm.

The victim is described as between 30 and 45 years old, 5ft 8in tall, of a thin to medium build, with grey hair and blue or green eyes.

He was wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and black Belstaff motorcycle gloves.

He was also dressed in beige trousers, dark brown desert-style boots and, unusually for the time of year, he was wearing three tops underneath his jacket.

In his rucksack, police found a Duracell torch, a Casio LCD portable TV and radio, and a pair of sunglasses.

The bag also contained a plastic cheque-sized wallet which contained an old £1 note, an unwritten postcard of New York, a multi-tool and a small key.

The man also had a gold Bucherer watch with a black face and black leather strap.

A copy of the Motorcycle News magazine, dated August 12, was found nearby.

The station closed in the 1960s and only an abandoned station building surrounded by weeds and grass remains.

Anyone with information is asked to call 0800 405 040.

Just before the Revolution, Charles X threw wild parties in the catacombs of Paris. During World War II the French Resistance set up its headquarters here. Today modern troglodytes again have parties in the underground. There are raves and underground cinemas.

Regular patrol of the police is futile, as there are hundreds of kilometres of underground tunnels,the present day special Catacombs police are colloquially called cataflics.

I came home to find my way blocked by a pile of furniture, tubes of Anusol, divorce papers, my brother in laws knighthood certificate, stump socks, cigarette cards, pebbles, king penguin classics and picnic hampers full of receipts, dining room furniture, My sisters milk expresser.

Three of my sisters had similar piles and I was jealous of the sister who got my stuff and the Freemason apron and case.

Fao Annabel Good afternoon. The wall that springs to mind is the side wall of what used to be “The Shell House”, Cambridge Road ,East Cowes http://ourpasthistory.com/Gallery/album301/Untitled_Scanned_60 The whole house and garden were at one time covered with pictures and models covered in shells, but now is reduced to just the side wall of the house, which is cleary visible from the road. Could this be the one? In the meantime, I will search for other possibilties. Regards Steve

The young Freddy in 1852, when looking for shells on the beach, had his bucket of shells kicked at by another boy. Freddy kicked back, not knowing that the other boy was prince Albert Edward, the son of Queen Victoria.
The queen, having heard of the incident, praised Freddy because of his aplomb to defend his shells and awarded him with some money. The story goes on saying that this incident might be at the origin of mr Attrill’s creative effort.
