But these Sheffield city pubs have either been demolished or changed beyond recognition since those days. While some of them still continue to trade successfully in the city as pubs or as other types of business, they either now look very different, carry different names, or have totally changed inside.
We have put together the gallery below, showing how these venues looked back in the 80s and 90s – and contrast that to how they look now, using pictures taken more recently.
