Operator Supertram South Yorkshire brought in several of the quirky buses to replace trams during renewal work between the Cathedral and Main Bridge in Sheffield.
With one of those things that you can no longer do having briefly returned to Sheffield, we took a look at what else you could once do in the city which have now been lost to time.
Here are 25 suggestions. How many of them did you try?
21. Tinsley Towers
The Tinsley Towers, two cooling towers near the M1, were visible across the city, and were a major landmark for drivers passing Sheffield on the motorway. They were knocked down in 2008 Photo: Dennis Lound
22. Use the flumes at Ponds Forge
The famous flumes, water sides that took you outside the building, did not re-open after the venue closed its leisure pool for a refurbishment in 2021.
