Three workers at Hartlepool Borough Council, who have more than 100 years' service between them, are to retire.
Norman Maylor, Ray Cranston and Reg Hartill work at the council's Lynn Street depot.
Mr Maylor has been a scorer at the town's Park Drive Cricket Club and will continue to do so. Mr Hartill is looking forward to spending more time with his brother restoring vintage cars and bikes, while Mr Cranston will spend more time with his family.
