These photographs are all from the archives down through the years. There are 20 in total.
We were wondering if any of our readers might be able to identify those in the photographs.
Have a look through this selection and let us know, drop us a comment, or email [email protected].
In the weeks and months, we hope to bring regular Retro pictures for readers to enjoy.

The King of the River for 1980 was Adrian Logue from Belfast. He landed 63 salmon from Irish waters during 1980. He told the News Letter: “The Agivey is a marvellous river. It is full of salmon with good water and good holding pools. I don’t normally fish the Agivey until late in the year but I’ll be on it earlier next year.” Picture: News Letter archives/Darryl Armitage Photo: Farming Life archives/Darryl Armitage
