These nostalgic photos take you back to Yorkshire in 1976, showing how we sweated our way through the long, hot summer.
As well as memories of that unforgettable summer, these fascinating black-and-white images capture other major events and characters across the county nearly half a century ago.
A football star is seen performing his impressive party piece in an era before the sport became a multi-million-pound business, with such a stunt being unthinkable today.
Shoppers are pictured queueing for the sales outside two of the region’s most popular lost stores of the 70s.
Youngsters are shown unwinding in the playground, back in the days when health and safety was a little more lax.
Elsewhere, crowds go wild for some of the biggest stars of pop and punk, a whopper of a fish is landed, and revellers are pictured outside what was once Europe’s biggest nightclub.
