On this day in 2015: Queensbury's second 1940s Day takes place
On this day in 2015, the Telegraph and Argus reported that Queensbury had turned back the clock with its second 1940s Day. The event, held on Chapel Street, featured military vehicles, wartime music, a fun fair, and crowds dressed in vintage attire. Stuart Walker, one of the organisers, said: "It was excellent. "There was a lot more happening this year than last year - it was much bigger. "People didn't want to leave at the end." The first time that the event took place was in 2014 (the previous year), and organisers were described in the 2015 reporting as hoping "it becomes a regular part of village life."

Nominate the fish and chip shop you think is the best (Image: Newsquest) Speaking as the online nominations for the Telegraph & Argus 'Best Chippy 2025' opened, Nigel Burton, Telegraph & Argus editor said: 'In the Bradford district, there's no doubt that we love our chippies. "Whether it's traditional fish and chips, battered sausage, pies or a chip butty, the Bradford district's chippies are always popular." Mr Burton added: "That's why we are delighted to launch the search for the Best Chippy so we can recognise and celebrate the fabulous friers in our communities. So what are you waiting for? Get voting now!' There's nothing quite like the smell of a fish being cooked to bring a Bradford street to life - and for many, it's something you look forward to - with Friday lunchtimes being a particular tradition here in Yorkshire. While inner city Bradford has a number of fine examples, there are plenty of strong contenders in outlying communities too. Indeed you'd do well to find a Bradford suburb that doesn't have easy access to a chippy. We'll be bringing you updates on the chippies nominated in our competition – so keep an eye out and see if your favourite is featured. It couldn't be simpler to nominate your favourite - just follow the link above and put forward your favourite fish and chip shop.
