A photograph taken by a visitor to the town seems, experts believe, to have captured the image of a Swansfield Gibbon, until now assumed extinct. Mrs Ursula Vast from Idaho USA who was in Alnwick as an international judge at the annual Clayport Hammering Contest was unaware of her find " After watching those guys banging away for three days I decided to tour Alnwick before I went back to the states, I took a lot of photos, the castle the towers and churches, the local women washing their clothes with rocks down by the river, it was back home after I put all of my pictures on my computer I spotted something unusual, I called to my husband, Marvin, you know I said that town in England was full of apes, well come and see this!" Mr Gilroy Knuckle president of the Alnwick Rural Society of Ecology said " It's a remarkable photograph but we at A.R.S.E. will need more evidence"
