Black Squirrel in Butts Close, Hitchin
A genetic mutation of the grey squirrel, the black variety was first observed in 1912 in nearby Letchworth. Said to be more aggressive than the greys, now more than 50% of squirrels in some areas of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire are thought to be of the black variety. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-561946/The-pack-mutant-black-squirrels-giving-Britains-grey-population-taste-medicine.html After note Feb. 2009: It would appear that the scientific community is divided upon the issue of the origin of the black mutation; some feel that it is indigenous, others feel that it was introduced from the USA.

Park maintenance
The Butts Close park, Hitchin, derives its name from the Medieval archery range that was located here, said to have been used by Henry VIII when he visited the town. After World War I a tank was placed in the middle of the park to commemorate the war but it was removed during the second world war and melted down.
