In fact, given the overall grim ambiance of the place, I’m quite sure Ossy was named after the latter.
The only thing that concerns me is that this is not the only announcement this week about the redevelopment of Accy town centre; we have also had news about the Arcade being tarted up. In both schemes, money is reliant on national lottery funding. It seems to me that given the record of previous local grandiose plans that have come to nowt, the council would have been far better advised to say nothing until all the money is in place and then make public the go-ahead.
Maybe then some of those old bones that are dug up could be used to go on display in the Arcade. It would make the town centre one hell of a tourist attraction..A few skulls over the Church Street entrance and leg and arms over each shop window.

Yup.
More sensationalist headlines, and sloppy reporting, re: the Arcade.
Which only becomes apparent, when you read further into the Observer, and realise this isn't news, just spin, with no finance in place, and it all being reliant on securing Lottery funding.
