DO you have any video footage of days to remember from historic times gone by?
We're keen to expand our coverage of Cheshire's rich heritage on this blog.
If you had a cine camera and took a film of a Royal visit or a big event at your works, we'd love to hear from you.
Likewise, if you shot some film at a street party or your school sports... anything at all that would jog the memories of those who were there.
If you can help, please contact our multi-media editor James Shepherd at our Chester office on 01244 606401.
He will be able to explain how to transmit video together with an explanation of when and where it was taken.
You can also email James at digital@cheshirenews.co.uk

SIX GENERATIONS and 2.8 million units later, the Astra has established itself as the fourth most popular car ever sold in Britain and accounts for almost one in 20 of all vehicles registered in the UK.
The latest mark six version, launched last year, is Britain's best-selling UK-built car.
Its popularity has single-handedly sealed the survival of the Ellesmere plant and has kept hundreds of locals in jobs over the decades.

THE LEWIS Carroll Society in Daresbury has announced the name of its new official Alice.
Georgia Faulke, 10, of Moore Primary School, will take over the responsibility from present incumbent Charlotte Theis.

The Lewis Carroll Society was formed in 1969 to encourage research into the life and works of the eponymous Daresbury-born author, who wrote the classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Anyone interested in joining the society can call Ken Oultram on 01606 891303.
