14 shops from decades past that Sheffield people wish would return in 2025

We think that Sheffield has always been a great place to shop and we asked our readers to cast their minds back to remember the shops which they enjoyed in decades past.

We asked which shops which have since closed would they love to see back in the city centre today.

Readers mentioned the classics such as John Lewis, Woolworth’s and BHS as well as Pollard’s, Wilson Peck and Beatties.

Do you remember visiting these shops back in the day? We would love to hear which other shops you think Sheffield should be home to in 2025.
