Mysterious Fish Rainfall

General area, Mountain Ash

Mountain Ash in Wales is known for its lush green landscapes and rolling hills but on 9 February 1859 it witnessed something truly bizarre. Workers in a local timber yard were busy with their daily tasks when suddenly hundreds of small fish rained down upon them during a downpour. The scene was nothing short of surreal as the fish lay flopping in puddles, still very much alive. The workers quickly filled several buckets with the creatures before they could return to their work, no doubt trying to make sense of this inexplicable event.
