Mouth-watering drama as one snapper met another in the streets of Walsall

Now here's a sight you don't exactly see often – an alligator on a lead being taken for a walk down a Walsall street.

His name was Charlie, a Mississippi alligator, and although we have published this picture previously, there is a minor unsolved mystery surrounding it.

Because as Charlie had his Walsall waddle, his tail flipping side to side, he tried to take a bite out of our own snapper, who according to the details on the back of the print in our archive was "Bould."

Ah, that must surely be Brian Bould then, who after working for us went on to work as a photographer for the Daily Mail for 34 years.
