For today's Nostalgia edition we will be showing you what life was like in one coastal town in the 1980s.

We wanted to take a look into the past to give you a picture of what life was like in Silloth some four decades ago.

Silloth is a small coastal resort nestled on the Solway Firth facing into Scotland and to its rear is the Lake District fells.

It is said to have amazing sea views and sunsets and was noted by the famous landscape artist Turner for its posterity.

The town has 36 acres of grassy, open space which is known as the Silloth Green.

The town was inspired by Carlisle businessmen as a railhead and port in the 1850’s. The Railway Company helped to develop the town, and had grey granite shipped over in its own vessels from Ireland to build the handsome Christ Church, which is a prominent landmark.

North of Silloth, Grune Point is a sandy, raised shingle beach approximately one mile long (from Skinburness to its furthest extent).

Its western side is exposed to the Solway and prevailing westerly winds. The west side which is more sheltered, is Skinburness saltmarsh.

These photos show what life was like in Silloth in the 1980s. We hope that you enjoy this trip back in time with us.

We can see Brownies showing off their Easter bonnets, competitors in the Silloth Lido Handicap Games, the 1986 carnival queen Debbie Hocking and participants in a fancy dress competition.

We can also see a British Heart Foundation charity fun run, entries in the Silloth Building Society art competition, Silloth Junior School sports day, inside Silloth's social club and the 1981 County Bowls Final at Silloth.
