HERE at Newsquest we wanted to take a look back at what was happening here in the county 34 years ago.
These photos show what was happening in 1990, right here in Cumbria.
This was a time when Mr Bean debuted on British TV, Aldi, a German discount food supermarket chain, opens its first store in Birmingham, the 1990 heat wave peaked with a temperature of 37.1 °C, Ford launched the fifth generation of its Escort hatchback, the BBC began broadcasting on Radio 5, its first new station for 23 years, and the children's series Rosie and Jim debuted on Children's ITV.
We can see from these pictures that a lot was happening in Cumbria too. We can see a flower festival, a youngster winning a mountain bike in a competition, the Silloth Squash Club Prizewinners, and a parents association raising money for a school.
