These photos show just some of the city’s landmarks of the 60s and 70s before they were demolished.
The buildings pictured include some spectacular cinemas and cherished pubs, plus as a well-known secondary school where many friendships were forged.
Also featured is a famous hotel where the stars of the day, including David Bowie, once stayed, It has now been replaced with luxury flats.
These buildings were all reduced to rubble in the name of progress, with new, modern properties popping up in their place.
As well as pubs, cinemas and hotels, the nostalgic images include long-lost shops and homes around Sheffield, from the city centre to Heeley, Stocksbridge, Hillsborough and other suburbs.
Some of these buildings were destroyed by fire, while others were demolished to make way for new developments or wider roads.
How many of these lost buildings do you remember, and which old Sheffield landmarks do you miss most?
