Our featured faces in this week’s Time-Trip column were all pictured receiving valuable awards or honours.

Graham Lloyd handed out awards to the junior members of the Accrington Cricket Club in October 2005.

Meanwhile, there are two pictures showing beaming Accrington and Rossendale College graduates receiving awards at Accrington Town Hall. Sharron McClumskay, Penny Heys and Lynda Cunningham are pictured with Nina Phillips and Kath Burrows. While Kevin McLean was joined by Chris McCullough, Jason Rithwell and Alan Thompson.

And Georgia Curley, Sarah Ellwood, Steffi Honey, Laura Tomlinson and Aimee Booth were all confirmed at St Peter’s Church, Accrington in July 2005.

Each week we will publish a set of pictures taken by our photographers which appeared in the paper in the 2000s.

The pictures appear first on our website and are then reprinted in the paper. The photographs were all taken in the mid 2000s.

If you have any pictures you would like us to feature in the column, please send them into us at communities@menmedia.co.uk or via the Accrington Observer Facebook page.
