Who can you spot at Mansfield Carnival in 1980?

Mansfield Carnival was always a highlight of the social calendar, so we are heading back to 1980 in this gallery – have a look through and see who you recognise.

Mansfield Carnival was popular with young and old alike, with floats parading through the streets and entertainment galore.

We have trawled the archives for pictures from the 1980 carnival, with marching bands, clowns, floats, angels and country singers all featuring in this gallery.

Step back in time and see if you can spot any familiar faces.
