The pictures in the above gallery were all taken in 1976.
They show a variation of happenings from the Miss Swanage competition to the auction of knitted animals, and the youngest member of a motorcycle display team to a much-loved centre for leisure.
Take a trip down memory lane and see how we were living in 1976.
It's amazing how much things have changed.
