Sheffield Retro: 38 nostalgic archive pictures of 1979 Sheffield, transformed from black and white into colour

But The Star was taking its pictures in those days in black and white.

However, now, over 40 years later, we have used technology to transform 38 of those pictures that we took all those years ago into colour, breathing new life into them.

It means you can now look at our gallery below and see what was happening in the city in the year, that started with Jim Callaghan as Prime Minster, in a whole new way!

They are sure to bring memories of Sheffield at that time flooding back

We think it has breathed new life into the pictures, which show everyday life in the city as well as exciting special events.

And if you had gone to see those films, back in 1979, the chances are it would have been Moonraker or Star Trek: The Motion Picture, as they were the big hits that year!
