The photo was found in the archives for our weekly nostalgia supplement Picture Past. Others show Prime Minister James Callaghan during a visit to Meltham, near Huddersfield, and the return to racing after the 1968 foot-and-mouth outbreak. You can also go back in time to the age long before television-on-demand and see the cinebox at the Venezia Coffee Lounge in Bradford in 1963.
