The Holy Grail has been found! We've been sitting on this for a couple of weeks: the @BBCArchive contacted us about a clip they'd found in the bowels of the archive and wanted to get our reactions and thoughts... it's the long-lost Nationwide clip about THE HEXHAM HEADS! 1/2

21 April 1934. The famous “Surgeon’s Photograph” of the alleged Loch Ness Monster in Scotland was published in the Daily Mail. It was taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson, and claimed to be 1st image ever captured of Nessie’s neck and head. It turned out to be a hoax.
