Take a trip down memory lane with these black and white pictures we’ve dug out from our archives.

They include TB patients being treated in outdoor cubicles at Heysham Sanitorium, Bruce Forsyth and champion golfers playing at Heysham Golf Club, and children enjoying a 1953 Coronation party.

We hope you enjoy them.
