As Time Goes By~ Time Slips #4 ~ Britain

The original post has been heavily edited of extracts and links due to a complaint to Blogger, from an as yet unknown source, that something in my original infringed someone's copright. As I was not accorded the courtesy of knowing exactly which part of my post infinged copyright I have removed every possible factor - and would add that what it originally contained was, I had thought, used in compliance with the Fair Use guidelines.

A final brief note of some reported time slips from the UK - none concerning France at all this time!

Unfortunately I have no means of looking at astrological indications in these cases as no exact dates are quoted for the time slips. I found these examples of possible time slip experiences to have a rather more authentic feel than those featured in posts from Tuesday to Thursday this week. Lack of fine detail, duration of the events, and the fact there is no contact with people on t'other side of the time slip, renders these more acceptable - to me at least.

In Liverpool's Bold Street an off-duty police officer, in the summer of 1996 experienced what seemed to be a time slip when walking into what he knew to be a book shop. The store had mysteriously turned into "Cripps" a Liverpool clothing store of the 1950s or before. An old-fashioned van, certainly not of 1990s vintage, passed by him in the street, as did people wearing what appeared to be styles popular in the 1940s. The police officer was not alone in this odd experience. A young woman, also puzzled by the sudden appearance of a previously unknown women's fashion store remarked to him, as she entered, that she was going to look around as she'd thought this was a clothing store....but the bookstore and normal 1990's scene had returned.

This is not the only strange experience involving Liverpool's Bold Street. There is a church at one end of the street - it was bombed during the World War 2 city blitz, and left, an empty broken shell, as a memorial. Bold Street may possibly, therefore, stand in an area "ripe" for time slip "imprint".

The Battle of Hopton Heath in 1643, a key event of the English Civil War, may also have left an imprint in Shropshire countryside. On a winter night in 1974 a driver, after feeling unwell, pulled over to the side of the road and was startled to see the night sky lighten to daytime brightness, the road ahead become a mass of fields, trees and bushes, with soldiers in civil war uniform fighting a savage battle. Surrounded by this scene as he was, it seemed the soldiers remained unaware of his presence. Seconds later the weird scene vanished.

Three Royal Navy cadets on a map-reading exercise one Sunday morning in October, 1957 in Suffolk, England may have wandered into a time slip in Kersey, a picturesque village dating from before the 13th century. A full description of their experience can be read at the Smithsonian website - type "Smithsonian, Kersey time slip" into the Google search box.
