In the poem Skimbleshanks by T S Eliot, written in 1939 as part of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the night mail train finally arrives in Gallowgate.
Jellicle cats, or simply the Jellicles, are a type of feline mentioned in T.S. Elliot's book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and in Cats, a stage musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on the book.
It has also been published in reillustrated versions by Edward Gorey (1982) and Axel Scheffler (2009).
