These popular pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, shops and cinemas were Sheffield institutions during the 1970s.
They include Redgates toy store, the ‘Yorkshire Disneyland’ beloved by generations of youngsters, Josephine’s nightclub, which was the height of glamour when it opened, and the much-missed Gaumont cinema.
How many of these lost attractions do you remember, and what do you think were the most iconic Sheffield venues of the 70s?
1. Redgates
Redgates was a hugely popular toy store on Furnival Gate, in Sheffield city centre, stocking a huge range of goods over several floors. A trip to Redgates was a magical experience for youngsters, who were able to play with many of the toys on display, and it was affectionately dubbed the Yorkshire Disneyland.
