A step back in time to Powys life of the past in pictures
Sunday is a slower paced day and with that in mind we share a collection of pictures showcasing Powys life from the past.
Here we will share pictures of past generations as many will never have seen before and shows Powys town's as vibrant places.
Sadly the majority of people featured in these pictures have long since passed on but hopefully family and friends can spot a few familiar - if not somewhat younger - faces.
Many of these pictures form part of the collection of former County Times photographer Geoff Charles.

He said food bills and energy prices were rising and families were finding it harder to cope, adding the "phone has not stopped ringing" for help, the Local Democracy Reporting Service was told."Food inflation has increased in the last six months so the price of food is going up for people," he said."It is costing more to make donations of food and any resource we get does not go as far as it used to a year ago."There is no light at the end of the tunnel yet. Things are tough but we keep going."Mr Brookhouse said the pressure of raising funds to meet demand "gives me concern" but thanked people for the £5,269 donated so far, which would provide food parcels and essentials for a few weeks."Honestly a part of me feels embarrassed asking for help but I'm always blown away with the generosity here in the city that recognises we can make a difference," he said."I just want to say a heartfelt thank you. "We are working hard and we don't want to be in a position where someone calls for help but we say 'sorry we can't help you'."
