Re: A Shark on Cleveleys beach.......der der der der
Having had another look at the photos, it looks like this was perhaps bitten by a much bigger shark, note the marks at the tail end, and near the head, almost as though something took a bite at it from sideways on.

Re: A Shark on Cleveleys beach.......der der der der
Basking sharks can grow to over 30 feet in size. I've seen these plankton eaters off the coast of Scotland numerous times.
British waters have a few species of sharks, with some of them Summer visitors. I'm nothing like an expert on this, but looking at the length of the snout, it does look like a blue shark. I could well be wrong though.

Re: A Shark on Cleveleys beach.......der der der der
It looks like a dogfish to me. We used to catch small ones off Whitby pier, occasionally, but I've seen them washed up at Southport too. They grow to 2 or 3 feet long and are a type of shark.

Dogfish was the first thing I thought, so you may well be right.

Re: A Shark on Cleveleys beach.......der der der der
It looks more like a dogfish than shark, can't quite make out the deatail. but could be a Spur Dogfish - caiught one off South Uist a few years back - that one was 5' - 6' long.

Re: A Shark on Cleveleys beach.......der der der der
think it is a dogfish, they are the same general family as sharks but a different genus - see: Spiny dogfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We referred to them as Spurdogs in the Hebrides, and the spines could be quite dangerous.
