Fundraising Hair Hospital Strength Strong 1980
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1980, we witness the incredible determination of haulage contractor Herbie Grindley as he sets out to prove his strength surpasses that of his trusty horse, Bess. With an audacious plan in mind, Herbie intends to use nothing but his shoulder-length hair to pull both Bess and her cart uphill. To add even more weight and excitement to this feat, Herbie's two sons and three daughters will join him on the cart, making their combined load well over one ton. Their noble objective? To raise funds for Tarporley Cottage Hospital, a cause close to their hearts. This snapshot captures not only the physical prowess of Herbie but also the spirit of charity and community that permeated Tattenhall during those times. The yearning to support local institutions like hospitals was strong in the 1980s, and this event showcases how individuals went above and beyond conventional means to contribute. The image serves as a reminder of a bygone era when people pushed boundaries for a greater good. It encapsulates an extraordinary moment where human strength meets compassion for others' well-being. Preserved by Liverpool Post and Echo Archive through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph immortalizes Herbie Grindley's remarkable endeavor while honoring the enduring legacy of charitable acts within our society.
