We’ve lost a lot of shops in Sheffield over the years including Woolworths, C&A, Robert Brothers, BHS and Redgates.
In the gallery below, we take a look at just how much shopping in Sheffield has changed over the years.
Walsh’s on the High Street back in the 1950s had an orchestra playing at lunch time.
Do you remember any of these historic shops? Do you remember any which are missing from the gallery?
