NEW Brighton Lifeboat is going back in time this summer!

The boat house on the promenade is hosting a “historical weekend� to coincide with the Wirral Show, on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, which will feature photographs and memorabilia from more than 140 years of saving lives at sea.

And anyone with photos or memorabilia of New Brighton lifeboat - or even a story to tell about a rescue – is being urged to get in touch.

Cliff Downing, lifeboat operations manager, said: “It really is amazing how many people and their families have been involved with the lifeboat and with that in mind we’ve decided to hold a historical weekend so people can share their memories and photos.�

According to RNLI figures, New Brighton responds to around 50 call outs a year, making it one of the busiest lifeboat stations in the country.

Cliff added: “There’s so much history here. We actually have a scale model of a lifeboat at New Brighton that was powered by steam.

“Some of the very old photos we have in the boat house have caused a lot of interest and we hope people will get in touch with their own pictures or memorabilia.�

If you can help, contact Cliff Downing on 07989 080868 or visit the boat house on Sunday afternoons between 2 and 4pm.
