We've found these evocative pictures showing what Derbyshire life was like back in the 1980s

The eighties was a decade of huge change right across the world and things were very different here in Derbyshire 40 years ago – as these photos show.

From royal visits to carnival and sporting event, these photos show people and places across Derbyshire, from Chesterfield, Staveley and Codnor to the Peak District.
