We’ve rummaged through The Star’s archives to bring you this selection of photos showing pub life around Sheffield during the decade. Some of the watering holes featured are still going strong while others have sadly been lost for good.
If you’re not feeling nostalgic already, the fact a pint of beer in the UK cost on average just 47p when the decade began should be enough to have you pining for the 1980s.
