Take a trip down Memory Lane with these SIX pictures from the 1980s Hartlepool and East Durham

From saving lives at sea to restoring a giant of the waves. Nautical Hartlepool was very much to the fore in 1986.

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?
