Back in the 1980s, there was no Meadowhall or internet.
And that meant if you wanted to go shopping, the place to go was Sheffield city centre.
That was the 1980s in Sheffield. In those days, Fargate was packed with shoppers, and The Moor was similarly busy, while the route between the two, along Pinstone Street, also remained bustling. Similarly places like West Street were thriving.
