Sheffield retro: 19 spectacular aerial views of Sheffield as it looked in the 1960s and 70s

These fascinating bird’s eye photos show how Sheffield looked from above in the 1960s and 70s.

The aerial images capture lost landmarks from around the city, including the Tinsley towers and the ‘egg box’ town hall extension.

They show how different Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough Stadium looked back then, the Meadowhall area long before the huge shopping centre was built, and Kelham Island before the industrial heartland was transformed into a trendy neighbourhood packed with bars and restaurants.

The Moor and the Peace Gardens in Sheffield city centre feature in this retro photo gallery alongside aerial pictures of suburbs including Gleadless Valley, Burncross, Jordanthorpe and Bradway.
