Missing Limb

Theme park bosses have appealed for the owner of a false leg found underneath a rollercoaster at Alton Towers to reclaim it.

The Corkscrew is the oldest rollercoaster in the park

The artificial limb was discovered as workers began clearing up the site of the park's oldest rollercoaster, the Corkscrew.

The 28-year-old ride at the Staffordshire theme park is due to close next month.

A diamond wedding ring was also found during the weekend's clean-up operation.

Russell Barnes, divisional director at Alton Towers Resort, said: "At the Alton Towers Resort we deal with over 5,000 items of lost property every year including several unusual finds.

"As the Corkscrew is the oldest rollercoaster in the Park, we were expecting to find some strange items when we started clearing the Corkscrew area but a prosthetic leg definitely tops the list as the most bizarre.
