The gallery features kids battling it out in an egg and spoon race and Brownies on parade in Blidworth in 1971.
We also have a group of Kirkby schoolchildren performing in a Christmas nativity play in 1970.
There’s farmers going about their work in Blidworth in 1970 and footballers enjoying a post game drink in Kirkby over 50 years ago.
If you like these pictures, you can view plenty more from our area in the 70’s and 80’s here.
