Archaeologists in search of a Viking boat have given an update on the project.
In 1938, the remains of a clinker-built boat were found when workers were digging the foundations of The Railway pub in Meols. It is said that they were told to cover it and carry on building the pub, in order to meet a tight schedule and finish the building.
A radar search was commissioned around eight years ago, which confirmed a boat was indeed underneath the pub's patio. The dig started on February 18 and finished last week.
