These photos will take you back to 1996, the year the Spice Girls first hit the charts with Wannabe.
While Scary, Sporty, Ginger, Baby and Posh Spice were shaking up our lives with their winning combination of girl power and infectious anthems, these nostalgic images show what was happening around Sheffield that year.
A new nightclub, a famous new landlord at a historic city pub and the world premiere of a seminal sports film starring local lad Sean Bean are just some of the notable mid-90s happenings captured in this retro photo gallery.
They also show football fever erupting as Euro 96 came to town, an iconic concert by the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and the ill-fated Sheffield City Airport under construction.
These photos will take you back to the days when thrill-seekers hurtled down the slopes at Sheffield Ski Village, and Castle Market was thronged with shoppers.
Popular 90s pubs, shops, restaurants and cafes are pictured, including a lost city institution famed for its cream teas, a much-missed department store and an impossible-to-miss US-style diner.
Do these photos bring back any memories for you of Sheffield in the 90s, and what were you doing all those years ago?
