WE have five lads from Hesketh Bank this week using pedal power on a penny farthing to raise money for charity in 1982.
Peter Ball, Joseph Webster, Patrick Iddon, Jonathan Webster and David Cropper decided to ride from Southport to Hesketh Bank in aid of cancer research.
The boys set off from Southport Promenade and went via Banks to Becconsall Farm where 200 folks gathered to cheer the lads home.
The boys pedalled on the bike, belonging to Joseph's dad and uncle, from Southport to Hesketh Bank in one and a half hours.
They did stints of two miles each with the other four following on pushbikes.
We also have a picture of Paul and Sandra Wells with Edward McArdle who were part of pop band Bamboo Blue in 1982.
Edward chose music over university and scored a place on Radio One's playlist with Bamboo Blue's single "Scarlet on a Thursday."
The former Ormskirk Grammar pupil, was a regular with his brother Ian at the Buck I'th Vine, and they founded a folk music club together. He was also in another Ormskirk band called The Spoons.
