This week nights out in local pubs, an 18th birthday party, and celebrations at Accrington Carnival feature in our Time-trip column.

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.

This week our pictures show locals at Baileys Bar and Hayley Whittaker’s 18th birthday at Peel Park, Accrington.

There are also shots of revellers enjoying their night out at The Bridge Inn, and ‘Laurel and Hardy’ at Accrington Carnival.

The photographs were all taken in the early 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.
