As the international travel industry struggles with cancelled flights and staff shortages, more and more of us are looking closer to home for staycations and UK holidays this summer.
And today we are taking a trip down memory lane to Southwold in the 1970s, a longstanding favourite destination for locals and visitors alike.
Many readers will have happy memories of hours spent in the sun at its award-winning beach or gazing up at the lighthouse.
Perhaps you recall strolls along the clifftops crowned with cannons or walks along the promenade, pondering the stories behind the beach hut names.
If you were lucky you avoided any nasty nips during your trip down to Walberswick Ferry and the crabbing spots beyond.
And of course, if you close your eyes, you can practically smell the aroma of hops wafting over the town from the Adnams brewery when the wind was in the right direction.
Please enjoy these old photos of Southwold in the 1970s from our archives.
