Mysterious 'horrid' smell plagues Liverpool as people 'feel sick'

A vile smell that is so pungent people are having to close their windows and light candles is making people "feel sick" in Liverpool.

The odour, which was reported on Wednesday evening, was described as "horse or cow poo" by people living in Norris Green, Fazakerley, Wavertree, Fairfield, Old Swan and Everton.

Dozens of people took to social media to complain about the smell, asking their friends and neighbours if they knew where it came from. Some theories behind the smell included manure being spread on farms and it coming from the sewage treatment plant.
