Here’s a reminder of the photos which made the pages of the Hartlepool Mail that year.
They also show a Hartlepool jazz band in full marching flow, a street scene in Horden and a restaurant which was a tasty part of the Hartlepool 1980s scene.
And who remembers these Girl Guides all dressed up for a big occasion 33 years ago?
Take a further look for more details of all these ‘86 scenes.
