We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Hi, my name is Ken Cooper I was born in 10 Leylands Road, Fishersgate in1947. My nan had a fish and chip shop where we lived, it was a wonderful place, we had wonderful parties.

If anybody reads this I would love to talk to any of my old mates.
