“Iconic and legendary” stars of animations which dominated children’s television from the 1970s onwards have gone on show.
Props from shows such as Danger Mouse and Postman Pat, made by the production firm Cosgrove Hall, can be viewed for free at Sale Library in Greater Manchester.
Former children’s TV presenter Pat Sharp said: “It becomes iconic, legendary, because it’s from a time when people who are now adults didn’t have a relationship or rent or mortgage or job worries.
“They just had a school bag which they could chuck down and then be glued to the only entertainment that was available for them at the time.”
