Sheffield retro: 21 nostalgic photos taking you back to 1977, including lost nightclub and jubilee parties

1977 was a year of contrasts in many ways, as these classic photos taken that year across the city show. Neighbours came together to party and decked their streets out in red, white and blue to mark Queen Elizabeth’s 25 years on the throne, these images show. Over at the Punk Rock shop on Ecclesall Road, the fashion styles on show were very different.

This retro 70s photo gallery also includes nostalgic shots of revellers on the dance floors of the popular Turn Ups nightspot in Nether Edge and the fondly remembered Josephine’s nightclub in the city centre. Elsewhere, the Army can be seen battling a blaze on London Road during the firefighters’ strike, and the world’s oldest football club Sheffield FC are pictured enjoying a very special day at Wembley.

The old Castle Market, a very different looking Hillsborough stadium, and ‘Barrel Organ Phil’ in Sheffield’s famous Hole in the Road are among the other evocative scenes captured in this trip down memory lane.
