Love them or hate them, we’ve lived with them for a long time, so maybe some have grown on you. Or possibly you can’t wait to see the back of them! Take a look at our picture gallery and see which ones we think are on the list.
Don’t forget to look at our Facebook group, Retro and memories - Sheffield Star, where you can join in the conversation with other readers or share your own memories and photographs. And of course there’s still our popular Saturday Retro supplement.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a digital subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor
5. Electric dreams?
Do you recognise this building? It's the Moore Street electricity substation in Sheffield, designed by Jefferson Sheard and Partners in the mid-1960s. It's actually a listed building. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
6. Lighting-up time
The Moore Street substation looks a bit more glamorous at night, when it's all lit up. Still a Brutalist monument that many love to hate, though. Photo: stuart hastings
7. Barking mad?
This red pipework and mirrored extravaganza on Barkers Pool was built in 1987 to house yet another Odeon, and has also been home to various nightclubs and shops over the years. It replaced another cinema, the monumental Gaumont, where big acts such as The Beatles also appeared. This one is meant to be disappearing as part of Heart of the City 2. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
8. Tinsley towers
These Tinsley cooling towers near the M1, seen here from Meadowhall, were a Sheffield landmark for 70 years. Many of us felt we were home when we saw them appear but not everyone loved them. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
