Two primary school children are seen giggling as they share a rocker, pupils are pictured taking to the stage, and members of a triumphant Girls’ Brigade team are shown posing for the camera.
Elsewhere, two circus elephants are given a scrub down, a Dairy Princess attends a famous farming show, and a donkey narrowly escapes getting a parking ticket.
They are just some of the scenes captured in these fascinating black-and-white photos.
Does this retro photo gallery bring back any memories for you of 1970s life?
