Sheffield retro: 19 long landmarks which have vanished from the city over the years like famous Tinsley Towers

From towering beacons of Sheffield’s industry to long-gone cinemas to vanishing war memorials, these landmarks were known across the city but have now disappeared.

These famous Sheffield landmarks have all been consigned to history but live on in the memories of those who visited them or for whom they were a familiar and often comforting sight.

Hospitals, pubs, shops and schools also feature in this retro photo gallery showing the buildings and other structures which left their mark on the city.

Some are still talked about to this day, like the oft-discussed Hole In The Road and the Tinsley Towers, but others hold simpler pleasures like the now demolished Buchanan Road shops.

How many of these lost landmarks do you remember?
