These photographs are from the year 1980 and were taking all around Northern Ireland. There are 25 in total.
We were wondering if any of our readers might be able to identify those in the photographs.
Have a look through this selection and let us know, drop us a comment, or email [email protected].
In the weeks and months, we hope to bring regular Retro pictures for readers to enjoy.

12. Pictured in late July 1980 celebrating her second birthday is Heather Clingham from Dromara. She made her debut with her pony Pedro at the Castewellan Show, when Pedro was placed fifth.
