Legend

08

Back in 1981, four kids were crossing the marshes on a cold winter’s morning, when they happened upon a “giant, great, growling, hairy thing”. This can’t be blamed on a disgruntled hipster without his morning caffeine fix, since this was long before Hackney got hipsterified. Naturally, it was assumed that this was some sort of hideous monster, and whilst it hasn’t been seen since, we’d advise keeping an eye out if you’re in the area.
