As ever Chris would appreciate it if anybody knows who the people in the pictures are and can help him get in touch so he can recreate the photos.

All the pictures date back to the early 1980s.

The first picture shows two girls on play equipment in New England Rec.

Chris said of the two other pictures: “I think these are from the Expo at the show ground.

“I just have to find them and wait for the next fair!”
