This selection of images from the Hull Daily Mail archives shows just how times have changed in the past 56 years.
The nostalgic collection of photographs takes us right back to 1969. There are street scenes that are barely recognisable today; there are protests at living conditions of the time and there is local excitement at the first sight of moon dust after Apollo 11 landed men on the moon in the summer of that year.
With a familiar-to-many swimming pool, a special sports presentation and a haulage firm’s drivers up in arms after a theft, there will be plenty here to stir up some memories. Enjoy a trip down memory lane by scrolling through the gallery of pictures below.
