SUE Hare from Horncastle sent in a selection of photographs of Bridge Street in days gone by.
They show the A Hare and Sons furniture shop, which is now run by Sue's husband Donald Hare and his brother Peter.
It was her late father-in-law Alan Hare who started the business in 1965 and he was also a collector of old photographs.
When he died, the business was passed on to his sons.
The building itself was put up in 1865.
Sue has been collecting old pictures of Horncastle for years and enjoys researching her family history.
"Most people of Horncastle will remember Alan as he was always outside the shop, always willing to talk to someone," she said.
"People used to ask him to look out for various pieces of furniture. He would always try his best to get them what they wanted."
