There are many Sheffield institutions which continue to occupy a special place in people’s affections years after they disappeared for good.
From department stores to late night takeaways, pubs and nightclubs, those uniquely Sheffield places are fondly remembered by those who frequented them over the years.
These photos show some of those much-missed venues from across the city which have been lost over the years.
Some closed their doors for good decades ago, while others have only relatively recently ceased trading.
But all were once well-loved businesses, some of which achieved legendary status.
One has even inspired a play telling its story.
How many of these businesses do you remember, which would you most like to see reopen, and what other lost Sheffield institutions deserve a place on our list?
5. Cockaynes
Cockaynes department store on Angel Street, in Sheffield city centre, began life as a draper's shop opened by brothers Thomas and William Cockayne in 1829. The store was destroyed in the Sheffield Blitz of December 1940 before being rebuilt. In 1972, it was taken over by Schofields, and the shop eventually closed in 1982. | Sheffield Newspapers Photo: Sheffield Newspapers Ltd
6. Chubbys
Chubbys was a legendary Sheffield takeaway, famed for its ‘naked’ burgers and cheese sauce. The venue on Cambridge Street, in the city centre, served kebabs and burgers to generations of hungry clubbers and pubgoers over 40 years before closing in August 2020 to make way for the £480 million Heart of the City II redevelopment. | National World Photo: Brian Eyre
7. Roxy Disco
The Roxy, on Arundel Gate, in Sheffield city centre, was the place to be in the 1980s and 1990s. The huge nightclub on Arundel Gate with two floors attracted stars including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. The events there included a popular over-25s only night, which became known as 'grab a granny'. The building is today home to the O2 Academy Sheffield. | National World Photo: Andrew Partridge
8. Rare & Racy
Rare & Racy, on Devonshire Street in Sheffield city centre, opened in 1969. The much-loved shop sold second-hand books, music and art. Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker called it a 'global treasure'. But, despite a huge campaign to save the store, it was forced to close after Sheffield Council gave the go-ahead in March 2015 to knock down and replace three buildings at the top of Devonshire Street. Nearly a decade later, those buildings are still standing and the old Rare & Racy store remains empty and boarded up. | Sheffield Newspapers Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
