Sheffield Retro: Captivating 80s & 90s photos, including lost shops and school, show how Gleadless has changed

Today, many of the roads in that part of Sheffield are notable for their tram tracks and power cables. But if you go back to the 1980s and the early 1990s, those tracks were nowhere to be seen.

And areas including Gleadless Town End have also see much change, as the businesses and shops that line the roads all appear very different to how they did decades ago.

Some of the schools that the local youngsters once attended have since been demolished.

We have put together a gallery of 20 pictures to bring back the memories of that period of time in the area, showing many of the shops that are no longer there, or have changed beyond recognition, as well as people enjoying local activities.
