The school nativity play is a Christmas tradition. Many of us will remember being cast as a wise man or a shepherd. Or perhaps you were given one of the lead roles as Mary or Joseph?

Watford Observer photographers were very busy in December 1994, visiting as many schools across our area as possible to capture children in costume for their festive productions.

We have taken a look back through our archive and you can scroll down this page to see a selection of 16 school nativity photos taken 29 years ago.

Take a look through them and you may spot yourself, or someone you know.
