Bull in Poddle

1 Oct 1789

On Monday night the people of a tavern in Essex Street were much surprised with the roaring of an animal under their kitchen; wnen raising some flags (beneath which the Poddle Water runs) they discovered a fine young bull, which they took up and preserved its life for the owner, of whith they have yet heard nothing. It’s not known how it got into the sewer, but it is supposed to have been swept down the Poddle Hole.
