These photographs are from the year 1980 and were taking all around Northern Ireland. There are 25 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.

15. Pictured in late July 1980 is Peter Savage from Ballynahinch, Co Down, with his prizewinning donkey, Senorita, at the Castewellan Show. Peter and Senorita had to brave atrocious weather, noted the News Letter, but the “devoted faithful” stuck out the downpours and were rewarded warm sunshine in the later afternoon.
