EVERY picture tells a story - or so the saying goes. But all of the photographs pinned to a board at one North Yorkshire shop have one thing in common.

All were taken during promotions at Peter J and R Olivier's furniture shop in Richmond - some as far back as the 1960s.

"We found them as we began our preparations for our relocation to Richmond's Gallowfields Trading Estate," said spokesman, Paul Olivier.

"We could have thrown them away, but it seemed a better idea to put them on show to our customers and, if there are any of family or friends, then they're welcome to take them. We've already had some of the really early ones from the 1960s go to new homes."

He said: "Looking through the pictures reminded me of some of the promotions we have done.

"I thought the people shown in the pictures may like a reminder of their younger days - and ours.

"Many of the photographs are of children who will either be at secondary school or grown up."

All are welcome to view the pictures. Information can also be had on (01748) 823100
