The nostalgic pictures were all taken in 1989, the year in which Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade topped the box office and Ride on Time, by Black Box, dominated the charts.
They capture life in all its variety around Northern Ireland, from farming to finance.
Pupils are pictured celebrating their school’s 50th anniversary, Miss Northern Ireland is seen helping to launch the Hair Aid fundraising extravaganza, and the owner of the nation’s best chippy is shown receiving his award.
Elsewhere, a world kickboxing champion prepares for his next bout, Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham does his bit for the next generation of football stars, and a lucky four-year-old gets to live out his firefighting dream.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of the 1980s? What do you miss most about life back then?
