In 1972 a hole was punched in the side of White Nancy. Photo shows Mr Gaskell standing by it before repairing it. Mr Gaskell was the last person inside White Nancy and he left a new penny inside. Bollington Urban District Council paid for it to painted with 8-10 gallons of white paint. They forgot to paint the knob black. Mr Ron Biggar was the foreman in charge. When White Nancy was repainted in 1982 she was painted with the knob black and then in 1983 was painted as Father Christmas.
