They take you back to the 40s and 50s, when some of Sheffield’s most famous streets looked almost unrecognisable compared to how they are today.
The Moor, High Street, Fargate, Eyre Street and Arundel Street are among the thoroughfares pictured in this retro photo gallery.
Many of the landmark buildings of the day have since disappeared, while others had yet to be built when these nostalgic pictures were taken.
Cinema House at Barker’s Pool, Castlefolds Market and the Corn Exchange, and Jessop Hospital for Women, on Leavygreave Road, are just some of the famous buildings of the era which have been lost over the years.
Many of the pubs, shops and restaurants seen in these photos have disappeared too, including Saxone boots, the Travellers Rest, and Cole Brothers department store.
But there are some landmarks which have survived, like the Wicker Arches and City Hall, while Woolworths is one shop that will be familiar to younger Sheffielders.
How many of the locations pictured do you recognise, and do you remember any of the lost buildings and businesses?
