Around half a century separates these two photographs showing youngsters enjoying themselves.

The oldest one is undated but is thought to have been taken in the 1920/30s and will bring back happy memories for all those who spent many happy hours playing marbles in the street.

Carlo Harrison from Aireborough Historical Society said: "The photograph is taken at the end of Rufford Avenue, Yeadon and as many people will point out, the usual way to play was to dig a hole the size of a small pudding bowl and knock your opponents marbles into the hole, the winner scooping the prize of all the marbles in the hole."

The second photograph was taken in 1997 and shows Ashlands First School pupils in Ilkley at the Ugly Bug Ball. Left to right, back, Matthew Worall and Frances Denton. Front Oliver Corfield and Gina Williams.
