Take a step back in time more than 40 years to see how Doncaster town centre looked in the 1970s.

These rarely seen archive photos, taken by keen amateur photographer Chris Richmond, show a host of long lost shops and the raft of changes that have taken place in Doncaster in the last four decades.

From the Arndale Centre to High Street, Sunny Bar to St Sepulchre Gate, take a stroll down memory lane to how the town looked in 1976 and see how much you can remember.

Abbey Road or Doncaster High Street? This 1976 looking towards Clock Corner features shops such as Singer, Visionhire, Evans and jewellery firm Ratners. (Photo: Chris Richmond).

Long lost shops and restaurants such as The Golden Egg, Landers, Visionhire, Emgas and Pickerings - they are all here in this wonderful black and white archive of memories.

With thanks to Chris for allowing us to publish the pictures from his collection.
