They capture scenes from around the North East back then, including much-missed lost shops, cinemas and swimming pools.
This retro photo gallery shows how we lived back then, from everyday events, like trips on the bus and train, to big occasions like the Santa parade, funfairs and circus shows.
The nostalgic images will help you relive your childhood, whether it was spent whizzing through town on your skateboard, hanging out at the shopping centre, or admiring the animals at the long-lost safari park.
What was your favourite thing to do as a child in the 70s, and do these photos bring back any memories for you?
If these pictures have got you all misty-eyed, you might enjoy this nostalgic look back at things you can’t do anymore in the North East but we wish you still could.
