- Ken Mountain was born in Hoyle and is a self-taught artist. During his working years, his time for painting was limited. However, in 1995 he took early retirement, attended Nigel Morris's art class in the Community Centre in Hoyle and began to work in oils. His paintings vary, but are usually figurative or landscape works.
- They include paintings of Hire Island, the Royal Liverpool Golf Links, the Lady of Hire lifeboat at sea and the Dee Estuary.
