The BBC is asking the people of Britain to take a walk down memory lane back to 1986 – when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, mullets were the craze, Maradona's "Hand of God" destroyed a nation's World Cup dreams, the first Japanese car manufacturing plant opened in the UK and the ZX Spectrum was the game console of choice.
One of the most comprehensive digital time capsules has been unearthed through BBC Domesday Reloaded, providing a rarely-seen snapshot of what local areas looked like 25 years ago. The public is being asked to explore and, more importantly, update previously unseen images and articles from their local area by going onto the dedicated Domesday website.
The campaign, led by BBC Learning, runs throughout the summer of 2011 and invites you to participate by updating local photos and text which were submitted in 1986.
To participate in BBC Domesday Reloaded, go to www.bbc.co.uk/domesday. The website is divided into D-blocks and you can find yours by typing in your postcode. When you click on your local D-block you may find photos and text from 1986, but please note not all D-blocks had submissions. If there are photos and text on your local or neighbouring D-blocks we would like you to add your 2011 updates.
