Photos of 1970s and 1980s nights out around Furness

Not exactly nights out around Furness but someone did ask me if I had any photos of Russell the dog walker this last week whilst we were talking about Barrows characters such as The Didco Kid. I’ve nothing from that era but there’s a few from his page over the last 15 years for those interested.

Search for Russell Thompson Fan club.

Does anyone remember the guy that used to walk up and down Cornwallis street after closing time picking up coins that people had dropped. This was happening in the 90s era I think. Possibly into the 2000s.

Who remembers this guy. Peter Dawson aka The Disco Kid R.I.P.

Always turned up at many discos and clubs wearing his red shirt. Great guy.
