Mystery surrounds how a trolley ended up at the top of a lamppost in Malvern.

The trolley was spotted on top of a lamppost at Malvern Shopping Park on Thursday evening (October 5), near Card Factory.

It was photographed by Gemma Barker, who was worried no-one would believe her.

“Yesterday evening after work, I pulled onto the retail park and looked up as I approached M&S at the trolley dangling from the lamp post and couldn't stop laughing,” said Gemma.

“It looked like it couldn't be possible for something that heavy to be all the way up there - and yet it was!

“No idea who did it or how they did it, but it made me laugh.

“I honestly thought nobody would believe me if I told them, so I tried to photograph it as best I could.”

Gemma posted her pictures on Facebook, where people shared their theories of how the trolley got there.

A couple of people said they’d seen a cherry picker near the lamppost and wondered if someone had decided to have a play.

Others made less serious suggestions, including the suggestion that aliens were involved.
