As the summer draws to a close, the season of summer shows is also winding down, although this coming weekend has another three great ones to choose from.

Whitfield, Harbottle and Heddon are all looking forward to holding their shows, which gives YourNostalgia a chance to look back at some Journal archive pictures of the three villages from days gone by.

One picture is pre-war, with a view of Harbottle in November 1935. The description gave it as "the site of the 'House of Commans', and where the prison once overflowed".

Pictures of Stamfordham from years gone by show how little has changed in the picturesque village.

But for the children in the foreground pushing a home-made trolley, a shot of the village green from 1965 could almost have been taken yesterday.

The village green is also the scene for a great picture from 1937 in which Tynedale foxhouds gather for a hunt.
