Do you remember when we were children our parents, grandparents and the older folk of Knottingley telling us,” Don’t go near the canal because the Iron Man will get you.”? I do. I even knew the exact metal culvert on the banks of the canal near Shepherds Bridge where it was pointed out to me by an older school boy who told me, “that is where he lurks, he looks out for little boys and girls who wonder along the tow-path. He will suddenly jump out and carry you off back inside his layer and you will never to be seen again”. That was enough to frighten the socks off me.
The above extract is from our latest addition to our Knottingley website - a story about the Legend of the Iron Man, submitted by Roger Ellis.
