Additional Photos of the Pullinger Trap

Included in this month’s Rearview is an article about the recent discovery of a working Pullinger Trap, which was found by staff at the Museum of English Rural Life, University of Reading. The amazing part of the discovery was the fact that the trap, which dates back to the 1860s, was still working and had a captured rodent. Visit the “online extras” section of the PCT Online homepage for additional photos of the trap, the museum and the trap’s inventor, Colin Pullinger.
