Norfolk is now something of a skateboarders paradise, with a skate park in most of the county's towns and more picking up the sport post-lockdown thanks to its Olympic success. But were you skating during its peak in the 90s and 00s?

Community content curator, Siofra Connor, has sifted through the Eastern Daily Press archives to find some retro pictures of skaters grinding, jumping and rolling their way around Norfolk's skate parks of the past.

In the early 00s, skateboarding took off in the county with bowls and half pipes filled with teens from Great Yarmouth to Norwich.

At Yarmouth's indoor skate park in 2004, there was even a competition held by skateboarding brand Duffs, named A Day At The Seaside, which saw hoards of skateboarders descend on the town.
