:14:18. > :14:23.years? I will be gone by then! With the work being done here, it is
:14:24. > :14:30.still closer than ever. That will never get off the ground!
:14:31. > :14:32.It is that day when football chairmen, managers
:14:33. > :14:51.And Manchester United sprang a shock after agreeing a loan deal for the

:20:51. > :20:54.will be uncovering the real life Set in the 1930s,
:20:55. > :20:57.Our Zoo is the story of one man's vision ` to open the
:20:58. > :21:00.first zoo in Britain without bars. The drama has been shot on location
:21:01. > :21:04.across the north west including here in the Cheshire
:21:05. > :21:06.village of Great Budsworth. Actor Lee Inglby plays
:21:07. > :21:09.the lead role of George Mottershead, whose daughter June Williams played
:21:10. > :21:28.an important constants role. `` consultant role. She give us
:21:29. > :21:33.information about her father. It is very exciting. I never dreams that
:21:34. > :21:35.this would ever make a film. Her father George began collecting
:21:36. > :21:36.birds and animals at his shop His growing menagerie attracting
:21:37. > :21:40.members of the public and by 1930 he decided to open a zoo `
:21:41. > :21:56.the first in Britain without cages. It takes courage to put monkeys on
:21:57. > :22:05.an island with just water around them. A lot of people would not take
:22:06. > :22:13.that chance. My father took the chance of having the animals behind
:22:14. > :22:21.water or mesh for the Lions. I remember people saying that you
:22:22. > :22:26.couldn't keep lions behind a fence like that. But they are still they
:22:27. > :22:29.are! `` they are. Chester Zoo has come along way
:22:30. > :22:31.since the 1930s. But the foundations on which it
:22:32. > :22:34.was built have remained a crucial And next year it enters an exciting
:22:35. > :22:38.new chapter in its history. And staying true to
:22:39. > :22:42.George Mottershead's vision ` the animals will be housed on islands
:22:43. > :22:46.accessible on foot and by boat. And Inside Out North West returns
:22:47. > :22:47.tonight for the first We've all heard the phrase
:22:48. > :23:07."the parson's nose" ` a reference to the end of a chicken or a turkey
:23:08. > :23:13.we'd rather not think about. But have you ever wondered
:23:14. > :23:15.where it came from? The answer could lie within
:23:16. > :23:17.the hallowed walls of a church And it seems it was
:23:18. > :23:25.a craftsman's criticism You might call it mediaeval
:23:26. > :23:40.mischief, as our reporter found. Long before the live birds, these
:23:41. > :23:50.birds were nesting in the church chancery. But they don't match. One
:23:51. > :24:06.has the face of a parson. It seems that the church was not good at
:24:07. > :24:10.paying the sculptor. So it seems that they carved his face into the
:24:11. > :24:21.rear end of the bird. I don't know whether he found that funny. It is
:24:22. > :24:25.on the back of the bird if you look closely. I had no idea. It is nice
:24:26. > :24:35.to know it is on your doorstep. Visitors today were bemused. I have
:24:36. > :24:48.lived here for many decades. I had no idea that the phrase, the
:24:49. > :24:59.parson's nose, originated here. We have heard people talk about it, but
:25:00. > :25:09.we didn't know it was from Nantwich. Across the road, the local butcher.
:25:10. > :25:20.A real parson's nose. This used to be fill of feathers, but is now
:25:21. > :25:26.quite a delicacy. It turns out that it is actually on the underside of
:25:27. > :25:32.his chair, so he may never have seen it at all.
:25:33. > :25:38.Let us know if you don't think that is correct.
