The 1980s were a difficult decade for many people in Sheffield, with the steel industry in sharp decline and UK unemployment hitting nearly 1.9 million.
But there was plenty to celebrate too. Sheffield Ski Village opened in 1988, becoming Europe's largest artificial ski resort; Bruce Springsteen put on a show for the ages at a packed Bramall Lane; and Owls and Blades players set aside their differences to reopen a much-loved city pub.
Meanwhile, Bathers flocked to the lido at Millhouses Park to cool down in the summer; the pints flowed at the Stone House, which, with its retro cobbled courtyard complete with fake shop fronts was a truly one-of-a-kind pub; and families strapped on their skates at Silver Blades Ice Rink.
