Sheffield retro: 25 nostalgic photos to take you back to the 90s, from lost brewery to best nights out

From a loathed landmark to much-loved landlords, these photos take you back more than 25 years to Sheffield in the late 90s.

Pesky pitch invaders at Bramall Lane, filming in the city for two big dramas, and the epic Gatecrasher Millennium party at Don Valley stadium are among the other 90s memories captured in these nostalgic pictures.

You may recognise some of the popular pubs, shops and restaurants of the day, or the headteachers and the schools they ran.

If you remember the 90s, you’ll almost certainly remember shopping at Sheffield’s long-lost Castle Market, where boxer Johnny Nelson is seen at a butcher’s stall in this retro photo gallery.

You might have less fond memories of the notorious ‘egg box’ extension to Sheffield Town Hall, however.

Adorable new arrivals at Graves Park Animal Farm, nights out on Devonshire Street and cherubic youngsters in their nativity play also feature in this trip down.

Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of Sheffield during the 90s?
