Some of the city’s most familiar landmarks are captured in this retro photo gallery, looking very different from above. The former Nether Edge Hospital, the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Crookes Valley Park and Beauchief Abbey can all be seen. These aerial photos also show the neighbourhoods of Broomhill, Broomhall, Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe as they used to look.
The pretty Derbyshire villages of Barlow and Pratthall, which are just a short drive from Sheffield, and the stunning countryside within which they are nestled are also captured in these images. Outside of Sheffield, the Upper Linacre Reservoir is among the most notable features as seen from the air.
