And Andy Huxley suggested "has anybody tasted it? Maybe it's curry sauce".

After you Andy.

English Heritage is hoping to get an extra £15,000 to pay for the cost of weather-proof paint.

Most of the money is coming from English Heritage, but contributions have been made by other donors and charities.

Brown slime under the railway bridge in Shrewsbury town centre is being investigated by Network Rail which says it will carry out tests.

Some local residents have described it as "health hazard" and a poor advert for visitors to the town.

Network Rail said it's working with the council to arrange for the bridge to be cleaned "at a time that will cause least disruption".

It's also hoping to identify the cause of the problem, "so we can take steps to ensure it doesn't reoccur".
