They show children around Yorkshire all those years ago, from the classroom to the playground.
Lost schools, fondly remembered shops, including Woolworths and a famous toy store, and May Day festivities all feature in this retro photo gallery.
Youngsters are seen jostling to get a view of Prince Charles during a royal visit, children are pictured enjoying a ride on a miniature train, and pupils are shown learning to swim.
These nostalgic photos show how much has changed around Yorkshire over the last half a century.
But they also show how, when it comes to childhood fun and games, some things never change.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you? What do you miss most about life during the 70s?
