Champion clog cobbers are set to descend on a Waterfoot pub for their world championships on Easter Monday.
The art of clog cobbing involves swinging the clog between the legs a few times to build up momentum and then hurling it backwards.
Every Easter, competitors gather to see who can cob, or throw, a clog the furthest down a path at the side of the Roebuck Inn pub.
The competition began in the early 1960s after locals came up with the novel way of raising money for charity.
Last year the men’s and women’s titles were won by reigning champions Andrew and Kelly John, who pitched their clogs 92 feet and 58 feet respectively.
* The Clog Cobbing World Championships take place at the Roebuck, Burnley Road East, Waterfoot on Monday, April 5 from 1pm.
