The Way We Were

A sentimental journey through life in the North of England.

An affectionate look at the way we used to live using archive film and real-life experiences to illustrate how our daily lives have changed over the past 100 years. The Way We Were was a highly successful ITV series, each programme focussing on various aspects of life in the Yorkshire region. With the help of collectors, cine enthusiasts and historians, the series brings to you a fascinating and evocative social history from the 1920s to the 1980s.
