But as the years have gone by, they have dropped out of our lives, and have just become memories for us to cherish. Some we may see come back one day – others are probably gone forever.
We have put together a gallery of 12 things that you once used to be able to do in Sheffield – but can no longer indulge in. Whether that is a long gone favourite beer, or an activity you used to enjoy taking up here every now and again, or a place you liked to visit, you’re sure to remember these.

2. Buy Roger and Out at the Frog and Parrott
It was at one point famed as the strongest beer in the world, sold only in glasses containing a third of a pint. But you can no longer buy Roger and Out at the Frog and Parrot, where it was once brewed along with more convenctional beers like 'Reckless' Photo: Mike Waistell (Staff)
