“We don’t even know where Skylon is,” said Kelly. “It’s like the Loch Ness monster. People have sightings of Skylon – they think – and bits of it, but nobody really knows what happened to it. ..There are stories of it being simply thrown in the Thames or buried in Jubilee Gardens. Kelly said there was also a story that it was dumped in the river Lea and she might, with the Museum of London, send divers in to search for it. A spokesman for the Museum of London later contradicted that and said there was no evidence of Skylon being in the Lea.”

‘The exhibition contains only one piece of fabric that did end up being used to help identify the child. A piece of patchwork ribbon belonged to a boy brought in on 11 February 1767. He was christened Charles, but the hospital named him Benjamin Twirl. When he was seven, his mother came to take him back. On one section of the patchwork an embroidered heart is visible, a design that would only become whole again once mother and child were reunited.’
