GEOGRAPHY teacher Ben Steel has been showing off a school's Ice Age discovery
The granite boulder weighs six and a half stones, and was dug up by builders working at Eaton Bank School in Congleton.
"The boulder provides an insight into what was happening in the Congleton area towards the end of the last Ice Age, 12,000 years ago," said Mr Steel, head of geography.
"It's very different to any associated with the area, and is likely to be volcanic and to have been transported from the Lake District.
"Its shape shows it has been in a river, and it gives pupils an insight into what was happening at a time when Cheshire was covered by ice."
