Photo special with 36 pictures from the 1970s and 1980s of Kettering area plays, shows and events

Our photos this week are from the 1970s and1980s with pictures from the archive of Christmas entertainment and other events in and around Kettering.

We’ve got school plays, festive parties, and good old Santa Claus caught on cameras by our photographers.

Taken four decades ago, the toddlers in the pictures will be approaching middle age, so it’s a real trip down memory lane.

You can look back at our other nostalgic photo specials by going to our website and going to our ‘retro’ section.
