Bakers work furiously in Sheffield to meet demand ahead of the looming strike, champion weightlifters show off their muscles and steelworkers welcome a royal visitor.
These are just some of the striking images capturing life in Sheffield during 1978 which we've plucked from the archives to put together this retro photo gallery.
The fascinating black and white pictures show suburbs across the city as they were back then, from Attercliffe to the Manor estate.
They include the latest Sheffield Wednesday signing being put through his paces and a unique view of Bramall Lane following the completion of a new £1 million stand.
Much has changed in the four and a half decades since these photos were taken. Sheaf Valley Baths and The Albert pub on Division Street have both been demolished, while the line-up of shops on Fargate and The Moor, where Woolworth was reopening after a big refurbishment, has altered considerably.
But some things remain reassuringly familiar, with two of Sheffield's oldest buildings, the Old Queens Head pub and Bishops' House, standing as steadfast reminders of the city's history while the world changes around them.
