Amongst recently catalogued photographs, we have found a dozen pictures of the Oldway Mansion's interior. This photo shows the ballroom set up for a chess tournament! #DigitalArchives #paignton #picoftheday #OldwayMansion #chess

Can you help us solve a mystery?
Whilst documenting a box of photographs we came across dozens of images of an unknown event that took place at the Torbay Leisure Centre. Can you help us identify this event? Could it be the opening of the Sports Hall in 1984? #picoftheday
