13 photos of people and places in York from across 1970s

We've dipped into our archive to bring you a collection of photos right through the decade, showing some of the places and people of the time.

One photo is a view over Skeldergate Wharf, at Queen's Staith, York, when barges were still used to transport goods into the city.

Another shows Father Christmas arriving at the Co-op store in York - an annual treat for families who would turn out in the street to welcome him with waves and cheers.

Some photos map our changing city - who remembers when Russell's bike shop was in Clifford Street?

Many readers will remember Redfearn National Glass factory in Fishergate - our photo dates from 1977.
