The skeleton of Manchester's most famous elephant is going on display at Piccadilly station from today. Maharajah was part of a travelling circus in the 1800's and walked to Manchester from Scotland after trashing a train carriage.

@ward_esme @McrMuseum I wish for ... The Elephant Walk (The Maharajah Way?) from Edinburgh to Manchester (220 miles, 10 days) - like the Pennine Way or The Dales Way, but an elephant-themed walk! @elephant_parade
