    IT HAS been nearly 60 years but now a town in Kent is demanding its illuminations back from Hull City Council.

    The lights proudly adorned the Kent town of Ramsgate back in the 1950s but they were apparently loaned to Hull City Council in 1958 and have never been returned.

    Now, 56 years on, the town wants to know what happened to the decorations which included giant model dragons, ducks and toadstools.




    Do you think they'll still work?

    I've tried to recall info about them, not even a flicker unfortunately!

    I guess they've been a shade unlucky!

    I guess the display in Ramsgate has been static since the 1950's.

    I understand that originally Ramsgate said that we could have them Faraday. Weber or not my source is correct is unknown but the lead has potential.
