If you grew up in the 1980s, then chances are you’ll have mixed feelings about the decade.
From the Hillsborough Disaster and The Troubles in Northern Ireland to Live Aid and Band Aid, the ‘80s was a turbulent time for the country.
Despite this, many have fond memories of the decade and all that came with it.

Some city buildings are unrecognisable, while others have disappeared completely.
