A delay to the delays? Crikey!

Can imagine police will now be looking back 35 years or more into missing persons records.

Unless the anthropologist deems it to be older, as in centuries

Human remains? For a minute I thought it might have been a councillor.

Yes, the clue is in the word 'human.'

A human skull (or it might have been two - actually i think it was two) was found in a waster pit during an archaeological excavation at Tipping Street (no, not that one, an earlier one), associated with a 10th C. pottery kiln.

About '78.

Looks like it was '78 - they left the old Food Hall building, where Superdrug is now, in that year. I had moved into a flat in Tixall Road in the May, and I'm fairly sure it was open then, I used to walk along the riverside path to it from Fairway bridge.

A human skull... was found... at Tipping Street

It was two - there is only a pic of one.

As they say in Sizewell, two heads are better than one.

The person could well have borne witness to another dramatic event in Stafford’s history however – it is said that King Richard II was paraded in chains through the town after being captured by the forces of Henry Bolingbroke – later King Henry VI – in 1399.

Interesting(ish) fact about Richard...

Wonder what happened to the rest of him/her?
