The 1980s was a time of oversized mobile phones and even larger shoulder pads.

Domestic politics polarised the country, industrial upheaval shook the workforce and the Cold War loomed large in the national consciousness.

But today we are looking a little closer to home and winding back the clock to visit Wymondham in the 1980s.

Whether you recall gazing at the confectionery aisle in Woolworths or heading to the Regal Cinema with your sweetheart, we hope these old photos from our archive bring back fond memories from days gone by.

If you would like to share your stories or pictures of Wymondham through the years, please drop me a line at benjamin.craske@archant.co.uk.
