FOR this week’s Way We Were we have gone for places rather than people.

We have picked five photos from our archive where we found a folder labelled up “Pickering businesses - hotels, pubs, cafes and restaurants”. They were all taken in the 1980s and give us a snapshot of life in the town four decades ago.

Have you got an old picture you would like to see in the Gazette? Email it, along with when and where it was taken, to gazette@gazetteherald.co.uk.
