These photos show just some of the buildings from that period which have been lost forever, including pubs, cinemas, shops and schools.
Some fell victim to changing habits, others were ravaged by fire or demolished to make way for new developments or road widening.
This retro photo gallery features well known buildings from the time in Sheffield city centre but also out in the suburbs, including Heeley, Stocksbridge, Hillsborough, Darnall and other areas.
Do you remember any of these lost pubs, shops, cinemas and other buildings?
