9 brilliantly retro Barbour photos as the company goes all festive with a helping hand from Paddington

After all, the South Tyneside company is back in the news after it teamed up with Paddington Bear to make a fantastic Christmas advert.

It’s all about Paddington doing a spot of Christmas shopping.

But it gave us inspiration to take a Barbour-themed look back of our own.

Here are 9 photos of staff at the company in years gone by – as well as one or two VIP visitors you might just recognise.
