They include a number of lost railway stations which were once part of an extensive network, built during Victorian times, connecting the city and the UK as a whole.
This retro photo gallery looks back from the era of steam trains, in the late 1800s, to the days before the Beeching cuts of the 1960s which closed numerous stations and routes across Sheffield and the rest of the UK.
The lost stations pictured include Sheffield Victoria, Millhouses and Ecclesall, Beighton, Beauchief, Tinsley, Heeley, Wadsley Bridge, and Oughtibridge.
As well as connecting passengers living in the suburbs with the city centre, the railway network played a key role in supporting Sheffield’s booming industrial sector.
At one time, a small place like Killamarsh remarkably had three railway stations.

2. Victoria Station
Victoria Station was once Sheffield's main rail station, linking the city to Manchester and London. It closed in January 1970 but there are hopes it could reopen as part of the planned Don Valley line restoration between the city centre and Stocksbridge. Photo: Picture Sheffield
