An inshore lifeboat (ILB) station was established in June with a D class lifeboat.

The lifeboat crew were awarded the Bronze Medal of the RSPCA for Animal Lifesaving when they rescued two horses trapped in deep mud at West Kirby on 10 April 1988.
1990
The boathouse was seriously damaged by flooding during severe storms in February.
