Shoppers can be seen gathered inside the new Cole Brothers store, at Barker’s Pool, and peering through the shop window of Redgates toy store, known as the Yorkshire Disneyland.
Elsewhere, a rock ‘n’ roll contest is pictured in full swing, women are shown getting their hair styled and John Lennon is pictured relaxing backstage at Sheffield City Hall.
Pictures of the jazz institution that was Club 60, the glamour of the Grand Hotel, and a young Peter Stringfellow before he became a world famous nightclub mogul capture the excitement of the era.
In the city centre, West Street, Angel Street, and the new subway at the top of The Moor all feature, while the photos also take you out to the suburbs, including Gleadless Valley, Wadsley, Attercliffe and Hillsborough.
Dramatic snowfall during the Big Freeze, the simple joy of a fish and chip supper at a popular London Road takeaway, and a record-breaking beer stein are just some of the other memorable images.

4. West Street
West Street in Sheffield looks very different now to how it did when this photo, showing the grocery store Sharman, was taken in January 1961. The caption at the time read: "The junction of West Street with Fitzwilliam Street - an illustration of a self-contained shopping centre, away from mid-city bustle, yet with stores to meet virtually every demand of the housewife and her family." | Sheffield Newspapers
