Sheffield retro: Pictures show 11 Prime Ministers’ visits to Sheffield, including Winston Churchill

They were the days that power came to Sheffield – with the most powerful people in the country meeting city residents.

We have put together a gallery which shows how 11 people who held the office of Prime Minister made the journey north to visit Sheffield and speak to its residents, including some of the biggest names in politics.

Some of them visited more than once. Winston Churchill for instance, visited in 1941, during World War Two, and was also back in the city in the 1950s.

We are still waiting for a visit from current PM Rishi Sunak.

Our pictures below show the famous visits. Do you recognise any of the people meeting them, or the places they visited?
