Kirsty Geddes, a 37-year-old marketing and communications manager, discovered a 1940s time capsule while renovating her top floor flat in Great King Street, Dumfries. Working with local joiner Jordan Walters, she uncovered artefacts including a 1942 fire extinguisher, newspapers from the week after D-Day, an empty tin of whole chicken in jelly, and an Armstrong and Dickie stout bottle. The finds also include cigarette packs, household cleaners, 'flit powder' insect repellent, and envelopes addressed to Mrs Latimer. Geddes hopes to trace the building's history by matching the envelope names with original hand-drawn title deeds.
The mystery surrounding Baby Auckland, whose skeleton was found wrapped in a 1910 newspaper beneath floorboards during a house renovation in July 2024, has deepened after carbon dating suggested he lived between 1726 and 1812 - predating both the newspaper and the building. Despite DNA testing that didn't match potential relatives, the detective leading the investigation believes the baby lived and died in 1910. The infant was finally laid to rest in Bishop Auckland cemetery during a simple 10-minute ceremony, with detectives and local residents paying their respects.
