| Walking on the Formby seashore some years ago, retired teacher Gordon Roberts saw some human footprints preserved in a dark layer of solidified silt, apparently running towards and the disappearing under later-deposited sediments. He brushed away the top layers to reveal more prints, among them the very large hoofprints of a species of cattle that he'd never before seen. He has made almost daily surveys along the Formby seashore ever since, looking for more prints briefly revealed by the shifting sands. He records their location, photographs and casts them, working with university and other experts to build up a picture of prehistoric life around 5000 years ago. The story of an amateur archaeologist whose investigations have excited the experts. | ![]() |
