Sheffield has a proud history of creativity and skilled manufacturing, and of entrepreneurial innovation, which still shines strongly today.
From the city’s fantastic independent shops to the generations-old home-grown businesses making everything from sweets to furniture, there’s plenty to shout about ahead of Small Business Saturday this weekend.
But how many of these small businesses pictured during the 1960s and 70s on streets around Sheffield do you remember?
The Star’s #LoveYour campaign celebrates what makes our city special.
You can shout about your favourite spot by emailing [email protected] or the newsdesk on [email protected]
You can also submit your own article about what makes this city special to you in your own words or via video, by submitting to our Your World portal.
