This retro photo gallery salutes employees across Sheffield during the 80s and 90s, whose dedication helped the city flourish.
From the police officers who caught the nation’s most notorious serial killer to the team behind a famous sauce described as Sheffield’s best-kept secret, these photos feature workers from all walks of life.
Firefighters, nurses and employees at the Bassett’s sweet factory, home of liquorice allsorts, are just some of the staff pictured in these nostalgic images.
