Inspector Foster, son Edward - and Beauty: Beauty the Pup came down to earth after three

Inspector Foster, son Edward - and Beauty: Beauty the Pup came down to earth after three days on the roof of a disused mill. How she got on to the 60 ft.-high roofs is still a mystery. Families in Welbeck-street, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancs. First heard her yapping on Friday but not until yesterday was she seen on the roof. Firemen were called to the rescue and R.S.P.C.A. Inspector Robert Foster also went along. It took him three-quarters-of-an hour to catch Beauty - with his dogcatcher pole with a loop on the end. March 1961

Meet baby brown eyes! As Mum stands protectively over her baby - a Duikerbok, or "diving buck," born only three days ago. And she has every right to be proud of the newcomers, which is the first of its kind to be born at Chester Zoo. The baby is still too young to be handled by zoo officials. But its beautiful colouring and appealing brown eyes are certain to make it a big attraction with visitors. October 1961
