Sheffield retro: Looking back at Sheffield city centre when it was busy with traffic

As Sheffield focuses on improving pedestrian and cycle access in the city centre, here we take a look back at a time when the city centre was busy with buses and cars.

Our retro gallery takes a nostalgic look back at the days when traffic flowed freely along The Moor, Fargate, Leopold Street and Pinstone Street.
