These fantastic black and white pictures show what life used to be like around Mansfield and Ashfield during the 1970s and 80s, including Sutton, Kirkby, Huthwaite and Annesley

The gallery includes schoolchildren in Sutton enjoying a lesson and locals sailing on King’s Mill Reservoir in 1986.

We have a choir in Mansfield and a theatre group honing their skills during the late 80’s.

There is also a sporting theme with a presentation night at Kirkby Bowls Club in the 1970’s and some old football team pics.

That and plenty more in this cracking retro gallery.

You can get plenty more local retro content, here.
