For this Nostalgia edition we will be taking a look back at the year 1965.

We are now almost six decades on from this time and a lot has changed here in Whitehaven and the rest of the world.

However, just like today, there was a great deal going on in the world. This was a time when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lead the civil rights march in Alabama from Selma to Montgomery, the Gemini Space Program continues into 1965 and laid the groundwork for an eventual manned mission to the moon and the popular film "Doctor Zhivago" premiered.

It was also a time when the Maple leaf became Canada's new national flag symbol, the Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs escaped from Wandsworth Prison and fled to Brazil and cigarette advertising was banned on television in Britain.

There was also a lot happening here in west Cumbria too. At the Whitehaven News we've searched back through our archives to find some of the most fascinating photos from this year so please enjoy this trip back in time with us.

Let us know if you feature in any of the photos or know the people that do, we'd love to hear from you.

The first three photos show the mayor's Sunday morning parade in May 1965, with around 200 people turning out. The mayor fell in the scarlet robes of office, marched from the Town Hall for a civic service at the Methodist Church on Lowther Street.

The next set of photos show the St Begh's School fashion parade that same year. All the dresses were made and modelled by the girls themselves and cost between 5 shillings and a pound to make.

The final photos show members of B Company, 4th Battalion, The Border Regiment, leaving Whitehaven for their annual camp which was held at Folkstone on the south coast during June.
