It was the year Nipper buses hit the streets of Sheffield for the first time, while crowds gathered to protest as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher visited the city.
These photos capture life in Sheffield in 1983 and show how much has changed over the last four decades.
The lost shops and restaurants pictured include British Home Stores, Debenhams and Wimpy. Napoleon's casino, Romeo & Juliet nightclub and pubs including Steptoe's in High Green and Shakespeare's on the outskirts of Sheffield city centre also feature in this retro photo gallery.
