These nostalgic pictures take you back to the 1970s, showing memorable scenes from around Yorkshire half a century ago.
Unfairly branded the decade that taste forgot, these photos capture the highs and lows of life in the 70s.
They show the vibrant nightlife across the region back then, from a seminal Sex Pistols gig to pubs and cinemas we have sadly lost over the years.
The opening of a famous shopping centre, youngsters meeting the Queen at their local leisure centre, and the early years of a much-maligned housing development, where the dream of high-rise living quickly turned sour, all feature in this retro photo gallery.
Popular restaurants, much-missed shops and spectacular aerial views, showing how different the streets looked, are also on display.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of life during the 70s?
