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.

8. Millhouses and Ecclesall Station
Millhouses and Ecclesall Station, pictured in 1979. It was called Ecclesall Station when it opened in 1870 and was part of the Midland Main Line, lying between Heeley and Beauchief stations. Entrance was via an overbridge on Archer Road. It closed in June 1968, remaining derelict until the buildings were removed a year after this picture was taken Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
