Sheffield retro: 23 rarely seen photos capture nostalgic 60s scenes around the city

These photos show how Sheffield looked back in the 60s.

The nostalgic images include several that few people will have seen before, as they have only recently been published by Picture Sheffield.

From lost pubs and cinemas to mighty steelworks, they reveal the city as many people will remember it looking.

The scenes captured in this retro photo gallery include the Lyceum Theatre during its days as a bingo hall, the view of Sheffield city centre from the recently completed Park Hill flats, and the old Athol Hotel, on the corner of Charles Street and Pinstone Street.

The old Sheaf Market (Rag ‘n’ Tag) and the long-lost Sheffield Victoria railway station are among the other famous landmarks featured in this trip down memory lane.

Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of life in Sheffield during the 60s?
