What The Bleep Happened Here? Episode 2 Napoleon's Hair

What The Bleep Happened Here? Episode 2

Richard Tisdale and Chris Langston will be looking at a toy cannon, buried in a Shropshire field, that once fired miniature shots 鈥� a glimpse into how children were shaped by the shadow of the Napoleonic wars.

We鈥檒l hear about an actual lock of hair that belonged to Napoleon - gifted to a Shropshire soldier and now kept at the Soldiers Of Shropshire Museum at Shrewsbury Castle.

And why, if you look hard enough, you might find a bent sixpence, left at a gate or stile 鈥� a quiet token of love from the time of William the Third.
