THIS week, we have photos from 1987, the year Gordon the Gopher and Philip Schofield took over our television screens.
Another animal which was in the limelight in 1987 was eight-year-old mare Northern Bay.
Her owner Ann Stevens of Crescent Green, Aughton won the Fort Riley Supreme championship at the Northern Equitation Centre on Brookfield in Aughton.
Ann, 15, who was a pupil at Ormskirk Grammar School and had been riding for six years, gained entry to the Cambrian Championships and the Greater Manchester show.
We have more animals next filing two by two into a handcrafted Noah's Ark in Haskayne.
Crafty couple Roy and Kathy Cunliffe carved out a career in selling their own homemade wooden toys from the Old Post Office on School Lane.
Kathy told the Advertiser at the time: "It was something different for the kids to play with and when our friends saw the toys and wanted some it all spiralled from there."
