Flashback to 1982 with 19 fantastic pictures from Northumberland

We’re heading back to 1982 for this latest trawl through the archives.

It was the year when Alex Higgins won the World Snooker Championship, Kevin Keegan signed for Newcastle United, Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners was the biggest hit record and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was the smash hit film.

Take a look through these 19 pictures and perhaps you might recognise a few people. There was certainly some interesting fashion on display!
