40 nostalgic photos taking you back to 1981 in Yorkshire, and the people and places you might remember

It was the year Donkey Kong stomped into video arcades, and MTV burst onto our screens.

These photos take you back to 1981, capturing some of the people and places around Yorkshire that you might remember.

Among the nostalgic scenes are those of the many street parties held to celebrate the ill-fated marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer that summer.

Streets around Yorkshire turned red, white and blue as they were festooned with bunting, while tables were laden with scotch eggs, sausage rolls and cheese and pineapple hedgehogs.

This retro photo gallery also takes you back to a time when the three-wheeler Robin Reliant was all the rage, and it shows popular shops, pubs and nightclubs of the 80s.

Other memorable scenes include workers celebrating the launch of a new co-operative, formed from the ashes of their old company; youngsters drawing patterns in the night sky with sparklers; and a Coronation Street legend opening an amusement arcade.

Do these photos bring back any memories for you of the early 80s, and what do you miss most about life back then?
