Title
Prize Winning Mink – ALC11925
Description
These impressive trophies have been awarded to (presumably) the mink in the case and the rosette reads' 'Class Champion 1956, Best Novice.' The mink farm in Hebden Bridge was situated near Burlees and in the 1970s some of the mink were released by animal rights activists. The escapees soon proliferated and there were reports of babies being bitten in their prams and other stories. One was recently sighted in the River Calder (2018).
