Go Skateboarding Day arrives on June 21 and it’s a chance to raise awareness of an activity which is loved all over the world.
We are getting into the spirit with these skateboard scenes closer to home. So if you were pictured at a Silksworth fun day in 2005, or having a great time at the King George V fields in 2003, you could be in our archive collection.
Take a look back in time.
