Now, we have taken a peak at these much-missed venues that had either gone forever through demolition, or have changed beyond recognition since that great era of pubs and clubs.
After seeing a similar picture gallery we published earlier this year, many of our readers who enjoyed looking back at those pubs told us of some of the pubs of which they had fond memories of. So we have picked up their suggestions to offer another view of another set of Sheffield city pubs that have either been demolished or changed beyond recognistion since the 1980s and 1990s. While some of them still continue to trade successfully in the city as pubs or as other types of business, they either now look very different, carry different names, or have totally changed inside.
We have put together the gallery below showing another set of pictures, showing how another selection of pubs looked back in the 80s and 90s – and contrast that to how they look now, using pictures taken more recently.
