A search of our archives brings you these 14 pictures of Sheffield city centre’s Orchard Square over the years.

Can you remember some of these shops and events held there?

The shopping centre is looking its absolute best after a £990,000 revamp that included new paving, a huge double umbrella, shop front canopies, heritage lights and a huge colourful mural.

Enjoy this trip down memory lane.
