It’s the era of Nancy Sinatra hitting the charts and Chubby Checker doing The Twist. Of the Beverley Hillbillies and Bonanza on TV.
And closer to home, we have memories of The Kinks at the Queens Rink and a darts competition at the Newburn Youth Club.
We’ve got views of Peterlee, and school scenes at Golden Flatts and Grange Primary.
Look how much our town has changed in this series of retro images.
