I READ with interest the letters regarding a dinosaur in Bolton Museum.

I am in David Hough's age group, and can say for certain that it was indeed a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

If my memory serves me right, it was assembled around 1970 and replaced the three elephant skulls which progressed in size.

Those were there from my being a child in the 1950s. I remember asking what had happened to the elephant skulls to a members of staff many years ago. He told me they still existed.

The head of the T-Rex is still there in the upstairs hallway. I assume the body still exists somewhere.
