A burly schoolboy rugby squad gave two pretty classmates 'the push' - on a long distance bed run! The 25 lads from Kirkham Grammar School shoved and heaved the mobilised iron bed 10 miles to Preston, to raise more than £500 to send the under 15s team on a European rugby spree. The two girls who took it all in their stride are Jeanette Hutchinson and Nicola Garner Photo: RETRO

These Preston shoppers could not believe their eyes when a skip full of old stock was dumped outside of the Occasions store in Fishergate. The haul included note books, Christmas cards and old pens. They were thrown out the day after the shop closed. Photo: RETRO
