This retro photo gallery takes you around the county, from teeming towns and city centres to the peace of the suburbs and surrounding countryside, in 1970 and 1971.
Lost pubs, nightclubs, cinemas and railway stations feature in this trip down memory lane.
You might recognise some of the old landmarks or the characters pictured, from popular landlords and headteachers to a well-known barrel organ man and his monkeys.
You’ll probably remember trips to the lost shops shown, from high street giants like Woolworths to local institutions.
A friendly chimney sweep, miners returning to the pit and football stars relaxing ahead of a big game are among the other nostalgic images.
What do you remember about the early 70s, and what do you miss most about those days?
