With just over one week to go until Christmas, we’re taking a trip down a rather festive Memory Lane this week.
We’ve featured snowy scenes on the Stray and artistic displays, while several of the younger children are pictured doing something worthwhile - from recording festive songs to helping feed Hungarian orphans over the Christmas season.
These pictures were all taken in Harrogate by photographers at our sister title The Yorkshire Post. Do you recognise your younger self in one of these pictures?
Send your festive photographs for a future Retro page to [email protected].
Please include details about the image, along with your name, contact number and email address.
