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?

15. Greasy Vera's
Greasy Vera's stood for many years on waste land at the end of Corporation Lane, opposite the Riverside pub in Kelham Island, and earned cult status for feeding night shift workers and revellers alike. It was most famous for its 'Cheggburger', and celebrity customers included Freddie Starr and Alvin Stardust, who visited after performing at the Fiesta cabaret club. Initially run by husband-and-wife Vera and Les from the 1970s, it was later taken over by John Smith and survived into the 2000s. Such is the legendary status of the late-night burger van that a play has been written about its story. | Sheffield Newspapers Ltd Photo: National World
