Sheffield retro: 19 nostalgic photos taking you back to 1963, the year Beatlemania broke out

It was the year a nation cowered in fear as Doctor Who burst onto our screens, while four lads from Liverpool changed pop music forever.

As Beatlemania broke out across the UK in 1963, these atmospheric photos capture everyday life around Sheffield that year.

They show the popular shops, pubs and restaurants of their day around the city, lost landmarks like the Goodwin Fountain, and a very different looking Peace Gardens.

This retro photo gallery shows major Sheffield city centre streets like The Moor, Fargate and High Street bustling with life.

They also take you out into the suburbs, including Crookes, Hillsborough and Heeley.

Do these photos bring back any happy memories of 60s Sheffield for you?
