Looking through our archives, we came across a number of photographs from the era that give a great glimpse into life in the area in the, not too distant, past. There’s not a lot of detail with most of them but we’re sure there will be those who remember them well. We start with a selection of pictures from Galashiels and look out for more towns soon.
