Herringtons, Farringdon and Lakeside - Down Your Way
The residents of Knightsbride, Lakeside Village, had an unusual emergency to deal with recently when they came to the aid of a swan that had collided with a lamppost. A loud bang brought residents running from their homes to find a dazed swan sitting in the middle of the road. It was clear that the bird was hurt and unable to move. One resident, Margaret, knew exactly what to do and grabbing its beak and placing another arm under its body carried it home and placed it in a cage until the RSPCA could collect it. The swan’s injuries were treated and once well it was released back into the lake at Silksworth to the delight of all the residents.
