This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Our top story tonight, the tributes to Leicestershire runner Claire | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
Squires go global. Age anyone to keep going, it is fantastic. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
and his family pin their hopes on a new treatment in Belgium. Wide | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
these plastic rings have got a shop owner into trouble with the | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
organisers of London's Olympic Games. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
And from Leicestershire to London, the Saint George sets a course for | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:03. | ||
Good evening and welcome to tonight's programme. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
First tonight, it's a tragedy which has touched more than 40,000 people | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
across the world. Donations have flooded in today to | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
the Samaritans charity since the death of a runner from | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Leicestershire. Claire Squires, who was 30, died whilst competing in | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
the London Marathon. Donations to her fund-raising page on the | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
internet have now reached over a half million pounds. For the latest | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
:01:35. | :01:36. | ||
Victoria Hicks joins us now from Great Bowden in Leicestershire. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Good evening. The response to her tragic death has been truly | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
phenomenal. It has touched people far and wide. In this village where | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
she lived with her boyfriend Simon tributes have been left throughout | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
the day. At one point on her website in just 10 seconds the | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
amount raised by �400. The website has never known a response like it. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Tributes left for a Claire Squires described her as a beautiful person | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
who will be sadly missed. A person taking too young under such tragic | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
circumstances. She had been running the marathon in aid of The | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Samaritans. Her mum has worked for the charity as a volunteer for more | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
than 20 years. Since D Day's sudden-death path of people have | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
paid tribute by donating to her charity -- since Claire's sudden | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
death. You could see the donations as the world worked up. -- World | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Cup. People who Clare doesn't know, who have never met her, he latched | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
on to her and her purpose and her cause, and have given them money, | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
it was fabulous. The Samaritans say it has been supporting close family | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
and has been overwhelmed by the response. We will be putting money | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
into it to be found in her name. Whilst it is a difficult situation | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
and a terrible circumstances he must be a comfort in some way to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
the family to know that close legacy will live on three | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
destinations and will help other people. Today prayers have been | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
said at her former primary school stop the local vicar has also been | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
supporting her family. I have been in the school taking assembly, a | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
number of the students that knew her as a hairdresser, and the staff, | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
one of the students were two per -- wrote a prayer. Celebrities like | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Phillip Schofield are urging people to carry on donating. The trust | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
fund, a lasting legacy to his young woman who has repeatedly been | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
described as inspirational. With me is Victoria, one of Clare's close | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
friends. What has been the impact of her sudden death? Absolute shock | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
and devastation, people can't believe that a girl who was so fit | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
and active can possibly have this happened to her. It is very good of | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
you to speak to us tonight. What is your message? Clare spent her life | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
giving to charities and on an individual level. Please can we | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
make that all worthwhile, can everybody go on to her website to | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
give as much as you can afford. That total stands at �568,000 and | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
rising. The local football team is holding a minute's silence in her | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
memory and the just giving website has announced it will waive its | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
fees as a tribute to her. What I an amazing story. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Next tonight it started after school with just a headache. Then | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Sam White who was 12 collapsed. Hours later he was in Nottingham's | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Queen's Medical Centre having emergency surgery. It was a brain | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
tumour. And now, nearly three years on, the cancer's back. Today Sam | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
travelled to Belgium for innovative treatment which his family hope | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
will save his life. It's the first of 20 similar visits. Each time Sam | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
will receive a vaccine made from his own blood. As our health | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
correspondent Rob Sissons reports it's called immunotherapy, and it's | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
not available in the UK. Whilst some had his eye on | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
improving his archery skills doctors were keeping a watch for | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
any sign of cancer returning. Sam was at school when his father got | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the call at home to say there was another brain tumour. It took ages | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
when he was in to tell him. But he to go very well. After a while. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
just get on with it and get ready for what was going to happen this | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
time. Without treatment he will die. Immunotherapy in Belgium now seems | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
his best hope. I just hope everything goes well this time. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Surgeons in Nottingham removed his latest tumour and sent a sample to | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
this hospital in Belgium. Blood cells were removed last week from | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
his leg and a vaccine has been made. They will be injected into his arm | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
to stimulate his immune system to attack remaining cancer cells. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Brain tumours are so debilitating that some would have no quality of | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
life as well. The fact is, we have just got to do it. The treatment is | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
experimental but speaking over the internet Sams's consultant said it | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
offered hope. If the treatment is not very toxic, does not give a lot | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
of side-effects to the body, why not try it? That is also the reason | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
why he is on board, referred by his doctor. He should have had this | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
chance, so we have to happen. port, tickets, money, this will | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
become a familiar routine as they travel by rail from their home in | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
Newark to Belgium up to 20 times. Just got to carry on and keep going | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
until hopefully it will definitely work. As for the practical course, | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
family and friends in Loughborough helped raise money at weekend | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
towards their expenses. And more fund-raising is planned. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Fingers crossed for him. Still to come tonight, the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
shopkeepers accused of running rings around the Olympic | :07:34. | :07:44. | |
:07:44. | :07:47. | ||
regulations. On the election A 66-year-old Derby man has gone | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
missing after a boat he was in sank off the coast of France. Derbyshire | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Police say a tugboat got into difficulty six miles off the French | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
coast in the Bay of Biscay area on Monday morning. Two crew members | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
were rescued. Police are liaising with the French authorities. The | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
man's family have been told and a liaison officer is keeping them | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
informed. Detectives investigating the fatal | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
shooting of a Nottingham teenager say they want to trace a car seen | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
in the area at the time. It's thought 19-year-old Malakai | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
McKenzie was shot in the car park of The Hubb in Sherwood early on | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
Saturday morning. He died later in hospital. Police say they now | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
believe those responsible left the Hubb in a car along Hucknall Road | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
and Perry Road. They're appealing for witnesses. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
A busy town centre road has been closed for most of the day after a | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
large fire. It broke out in the roof space of some flats above a | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
take-away at Alfreton in Derbyshire this morning. It's not thought that | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
anyone was injured. An investigation into what caused it | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
is due to get underway. Police set up diversions away from the scene | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
which caused delays for drivers. There's been an increase in the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
number of people causing cruelty to animals. The RSPCA in the East | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Midlands says it's now taking more owners to court as a result of its | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
investigations. One reason for the increase could well be the down | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
turn in the economy, but the organisation is warning people | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
that's no excuse for neglect. Simon Ward reports. | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
This dog is getting back to health with the help of a new owner. The | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
previous owners were convicted after they failed to feed | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
improperly or provide medical care. When I got Timmy was staffed. He | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
was downtrodden, all his energy had gone -- when I got him he had been | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
staffed. He was a skeleton on legs. Why have an animal that you cannot | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
keep right by them? He has been helped by the RSPCA had bit Animal | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
:10:11. | :10:12. | ||
Centre. This dog in Derbyshire, his ears had been cut down in size. It | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
is thought he was to be used as so- called beat in dog fighting. We are | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
receiving lots more calls. It is generally done to people are still | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
struggling through the recession, people who are obviously not able | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
to feed themselves so they are dumping more and more animals and | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
they are not getting taken to the effect so we are getting more | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
cruelty cases reported. The RSPCA's his cruelty and neglect increased | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
by almost a quarter last year in England and Wales. In Derbyshire | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
there were 58 in-depth investigations and 80 people | :10:45. | :10:55. | |
:10:55. | :11:01. | ||
These numbers could rise further as more cases come to court. People | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
really need to know before they take on an animal what it is | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
they're taking on. They are taking something on for the entirety of | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
his life, they need to be able to afford it, thinks about what | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
happens when the animal becomes ill, and we would encourage people to | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
come to a reckless -- rescue centre where they can be given the | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
appropriate advice and give an animal like this a second chance. | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
The stock now has a caring owner. The RSPCA says it aims to show us | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
zero-tolerance to animal abusers. We are glad he is OK. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Businesses in the East Midlands are being warned not to break the law | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
of the rings that protects the branding of the Olympic Games. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
In Melton Mowbray one trader was told to take down home-made Olympic | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
rings from her shop window. She'd put them there to celebrate the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
recent test run of the Olympic torch. As Mike O'Sullivan reports, | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
the controversy is also spreading to Derby. | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
A world famous logo on a shop window in Derby. But is this what | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
is called ambush marketing by the organisers of the London 2012 | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
games? Getting the feel-good factor without paying a sponsorship fee. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
The owner of the shop didn't want to be interviewed on camera but | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
said the Olympic rings will stay here until he is told to take them | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
down. He said they are here to celebrate the Olympics, and the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
fact the Olympic torch relay will come in on the street. Passers-by | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
see nothing wrong. I think it is brilliant. More independent Taylor | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
should do more. It tells of a body it is going to be happening in this | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
area and brings more people down here so it is a good thing. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
neighbouring shop owner was planning to put up -- put up ailing | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
book rings covered him well. Now he is having second thoughts. It is | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
absolutely ridiculous. What I want to do is celebrate the Olympics. | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
But the five rings in the window -- but the five rings in the window. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
This is a document available on the internet which explains how the | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
London 2012 games protects its brands. All these games marks and | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
words are legally protected in the UK. Examples of bad practice are | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
given. Unlimited fines can be imposed in court for those who | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
break the law of the Rings. The shopkeeper in Melton Mowbray in | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Leicestershire was told to take down these Olympic style plastic | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
rings by trading standards officers. We were hoping to get a competition | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
running when the Olympics comes through for doing a bit Windows but | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
we will not be able to do that now. The Olympic rings are protected. | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
You could get involved with different types of displays, you | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
could get the flat out, medals, so long as you don't use the word | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Olympics. The Games organisers say protecting the brand and official | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
sponsors is essential to making sure the games and are really go | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
ahead. -- and they relate go ahead. Bosses at East Midlands Trains have | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
criticised drivers, who've announced a series of one-day | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
strikes. The first walk out will be next Tuesday. Managers plan to run | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
an hourly service from Derby to London and shuttle services between | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Nottingham, Leicester and Grantham which will connect to services | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
running to the capital. The dispute's over plans to reduce | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
:14:31. | :14:32. | ||
pension contributions for both workers and the company. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
The local election campaign in Derby is about to enter a crucial | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
stage. It's one of the few councils in the East Midlands where voters | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
are going to the polls. And for the Prime Minister and Nick Clegg, the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
outcome in Derby could shape the future of their coalition | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
government. Here's our Political Editor, John Hess. | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
This is coalition politics, not in Downing Street but in Derby. Labour | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
may be the largest party on the city council yet it is run by the | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Conservatives in coalition with the Liberal Democrats. Labour needs | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
just four more seats to win control, so with just over a week to go | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
until the local elections, are the voters ready to decide? I really | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
:15:19. | :15:20. | ||
don't know. Nottingham have got the car-parking tax. They have put the | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
council tax up. You do one that here? Accrue know. I want to read | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
the manifestos of reach of the parties. And they make up your mind. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
Yes. Politics can be something of a market so what are the three main | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
parties offering in their manifestos to entice the voters? | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
The Conservatives talk of creating new jobs. A manifesto for economic | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
regeneration, investment in the City and creating jobs we have got | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
an ambition to generate another 6,000 jobs. And use our financial | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
muscle as a council to stimulate regeneration. The Lib Dems rule out | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
a work place parking levy and back projects could you must allow | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Nottingham. We are on the site of the proposed new velodrome which | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
has got planning permission. That was a Lib Dem project to start with | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
and will be something fantastic not just for Derby but a whole region. | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
He will be an iconic building. Labour is making the local economy | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
is priority. Big employers out there, Rolls-Royce, Bombardier, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
expanding their business in some parts of the world, and we can help | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
them with that, we can provide engineering apprenticeships and | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
encourage them to create jobs in the city. The tiles are going on | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
the roof of a refurbished council house but by the time it is | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
finished could there be any political leadership running the | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
city? In June, a thousand boats from all | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
over the UK will assemble on the Thames in London as part of the | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Stuart Woodman has | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
joined one little ship from Leicestershire which has just | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
headed off to the Capital. Eric has boating in his blood. | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
Nearly 40 years he has been building boats from his home. Today | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
it is his turn to set sail. Have a wonderful trip. I am delighted to | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
:17:31. | :17:32. | ||
present you with that the flag. If I can get to the right way. It will | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
take a while to get through Nottingham, let alone round the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
coast and into the Thames be sure he will do it. An extremely big day, | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
all very proud of him. You have come to wave them off? We have | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
indeed. A for most people, of wanting to go from Leicestershire | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
to London by water is straight down the Grand Union Canal, about a week. | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Your journey is not quite that easy, is it? No. Because of the size of | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
this craft it will not go through the narrow canals. Some real tricky | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
:18:16. | :18:17. | ||
bits coming up. If yes. We are in our 70s, this is not likely to | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
happen again, is it? Just to be part of such a wonderful | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
celebration. Before they tackle the North Sea they are taking on the | :18:27. | :18:37. | |
:18:37. | :18:38. | ||
Trent navigation, and it is far from plain sailing. Oh dear, hit | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
the back of my head there. With a little cosmetic damage and a bit of | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
dented pride to the crew heads towards Newark and beyond. They | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
expect to reach London some time before June. | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
:19:06. | :19:10. | ||
Keep your head down. Joy and later for a story of Robin Hood with two | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:20. | ||
mate. First up, what a strange old season | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
for Leicester City. Starting with a river of cash, a star studded team, | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
an ex-England manager and a demand for automatic promotion. Ending | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
with not even a place in the play off. The Foxes home campaign ended | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
last night with a visit from West Ham who are in the promotion race. | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
Paul Bradshaw was there for us to look back on Leicester's season. | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
The NEDC change? A charity begins at home, they say. There was plenty | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
on show last night. There runner was raising money for their one-in- | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
a-million campaign. Time to give, but also a time to reflect on what | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
might have been. Their roller- coaster home campaign began | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
fittingly enough with a fairground, and after some stellar signings | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
expectations were high. They lost to Reading, a dip in form led to a | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
change in manager. Even a fine FA Cup run couldn't revive their form | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
in the league. Back-to-back wins proving elusive. I think they | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
should have spent a bit more time that heavily next season. What of | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
their decision to raise ticket prices? Some might say they are | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
feeling the strain, but the fans don't think so. It is not too much, | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
I will still play it. If it was a great deal more I wouldn't be too | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
happy. I will pay whatever, I love the club. Even if a small | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
percentage given I'm happy to pay that. Last night's game began | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
brightly for West Ham. Germaine Beckford headed them home after a | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
fine cross from Ben Marshall. The Hammers were back on terms within | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
five minutes. City what is a fat only their second home defeat under | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
Nigel Pearson, courtesy of this strike. It felt a bit like a whole | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
season, in 90 minutes. It hasn't quite worked this season, never | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
really got going, no consistency. Ultimately the curtain falls on | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
another disappointing season. season which started with such high | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
expectations draws to a close they will be spending a 4th successive | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
season in their championship. -- the championship. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
A quick bit of football news from lower down the Pyramid, a great | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
night for Ilkeston Town last night. Over 1,000 people watched them beat | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Sheffield FC 7-0 to go into the Evo Stick Division One south play off | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
final. All after the club's demise a year and a half ago. Wonderful to | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
see. Now, let's take a look at one in | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
our occasional series getting up close to some of our key Olympic | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
and Paralympic athletes. Today, Paralympic discus thrower and world | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:21. | ||
record holder Dan Greaves on his IM Danny Greaves, I am a Paralympic | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
Paralympics mean everything to me. Ever since 2000 when I first got | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
classified as a Paraolympian it has been my life. It is full-on to this | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
:22:46. | :22:48. | ||
day. My dream would be to break the world record and win gold. I have | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
had so many friends and family get tickets for the games to come and | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
see me compete, so want to put on a great show for them and do the | :22:57. | :23:06. | |

Now if you've ever wondered who Maid Marian really was, well we | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
might just have the answer. Yes, it seems that there might have | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
been more than one maid. For more here's John Holmes in the second of | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
his Historic Holmes series. Robin comedy take Marijne to be | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
your lawful wedded wife? And you take Robin to beat your lawful | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
wedded husband. Those who God has joined together, then no one put | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
asunder. Some areas church were according to agent Robin had | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
married Maid Marion. In the story she is often described as a feisty | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
huntress. But go back to the original medieval ballads and Robin | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
is a deeply religious man worshipping Mary Mother of Jesus | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
and Mary smother and, the patron saint of Wells. He believed robbing | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
the rich was fine if done in their reasoning. He said he was married | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
to a team-mate, Mary and and. In Tudor times they couldn't have to | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
love interests said they assured and the mixture Marion. Which | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
brings us to St Annes in Nottingham, the Wells Road, and you're telling | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
me underneath this rubber and tarmac there is a sacred world | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
going back centuries. Absolutely. How do you know? I have been down | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
there, 25 years ago. I have rediscovered the well. It is not | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
the sort of well we think of with a bucket and chain. It is an emotion | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Bath for healing purposes. In direct association with St Annes | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
and Jerusalem. This kind of healing by immersion was under house where | :25:00. | :25:10. | |

Mary and and become Marion. -- Ann. The origins of the true made Marian | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
lie here but they are going to put houses on it. They may be an | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
archaeological dig, and let's hope there is some divine intervention. | :25:33. | :25:43. | |

T Mays, no wonder they were merry We have a very unsettled day to | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
