Days out with the pensioners.

HOLIDAYS, outings and parties linked with the Teesside Pensioner Association from the 1950s onwards have played a great part in the life of Hilda Fox.

Everybody had great fun and Hilda's friends and neighbours were always keen to make a photographic record of their outings, as these pictures show.

And here Hilda shares some of those photographic memories with us..
