From the hippie era to the rise of punk, those decades were a time of great cultural revolution.
But this retro photo gallery shines a light on everyday life back then out in the suburbs.
They show children at play, streets bustling with shoppers, and the pubs, cinemas and dance halls which pulled in the punters all those years ago.
Lost swimming baths, Morris dancing and school life also feature in these images, which take you around the streets of Grenoside, Hillsborough, Millhouses, Crookes, Crosspool, Darnall, Page Hall, Pitsmoor and Gleadless as they were at the time.
Do they bring back any memories for you?
