"Prehistoric human footprints" are thought to have been found on a Merseyside beach.
Sefton Council has shared photos of footprints believed to be from thousands of years ago. The footprints, that are preserved in the sediment beds at Formby, were visible this morning, with the University of Liverpool also spotting footprints two years ago that were also preserved.
The footprints can be found in a small sediment bed south of the National Trust Victoria Road car park, just 100m away from the old Tobacco Dump site. The tide is expected to take the footprints, but more could appear over the coming days.
