Today we head back in time to Southport in 1982, with a collection of photos of people enjoying a variety of activities.
Do you recognise anyone in the photos? Do these images bring back memories for you? Please let us know!
The first image shows a Scout Leader being presented with her Warrant at St Peter’s Cub Scouts pack in Birkdale in Southport in December 1982.
Were you in the Cubs or in the Scouts in Southport?
Next, there is a very Scottish theme to this event at the Floral Hall in Southport in November 1982! Was this an event by the Southport Caledonian Society perhaps?
Our third picture shows firefighters at Southport Fire Station gathering to celebrate a retirement from the force in November 1982.
It looks like a very impressive turnout!
Next, Members of the Royal British Legion Women’s Section urge people to ‘wear your poppy with pride’ in November 1982.
Pictured (from left) are: Mrs F.Robinson; Mrs H.Bird; Mrs E.Wilkinson (Chairperson); Mrs M.Barlow (Public Relations Officer); and Mrs E.McQuirk.
Southport Royal British Legion is still going strong today, having opened a brand new Southport Veterans Hub on Wesley Street in Southport earlier this year.
Members of the Boys Brigade are pictured here enjoying a march in Southport in November 1982.
Our final picture shows another event taking place at the Floral Hall in Southport.
It shows a bodybuilders contest taking place in September 1982.
Were you taking part in this event?
