Shedding new light on the News Letter’s historic photo archive

The News Letter has a wealth of old photographs dating back to the early 1980s.

I have been working my way steadily through these old negatives to shed a new light on the archive.

Today we have a selection of photographs which date from November and December 1982.

One old photograph shows a smiling Reverend Ian Paisley leading elected members into the Assembly at Stormont.

Another photograph is Alan Robinson of Silverstream from Bangor, pictured in November 1982, standing beside his Renault car which was completely wrecked when a wall collapsed in King Street, Bangor, during high winds. Mr Robinson had just parked the car a couple of minutes earlier.

Have a look through our old photographs and see who you can spot.
