Sheffield retro: 14 nostalgic photos show popular Sheffield pubs in the 80s and 90s, including Fat Cat

All these black and white photos were taken between 1980 and 1999, mostly during the early 80s, by Douglas Axe. They show a number of well-known Sheffield watering holes, many of which have stood the test of time.

Among the pubs pictured are the Fat Cat in Kelham Island, the Ship Inn on Shalesmoor, the Brown Bear on Norfolk Street, in Sheffield city centre, and the Dog and Partridge, on Trippet Lane, also in the city centre. This retro photo gallery illustrates how in some cases these popular pubs have hardly altered over the last four decades, from the outside at least, with the drinks continuing to flow as the streets around them have been transformed, with numerous businesses coming and going.

As we raise a glass to their longevity, how many of these pubs have you visited over the years and what memories do you have of time spent there?
