These nostalgic photos take you back to Sheffield in 1972, when the Ford Cortina ruled Britain’s roads.
Back then, a litre of petrol was priced just 8p, a pint of beer would set you back 14p, and the average house cost a little over £5,000.
This retro photo gallery captures life around Sheffield that year, from school corridors to shops, pubs and the factory floor.
The shops pictured include BHS, C&A , Mac Market and Walsh’s department store, while the old Sheaf Valley Swimming Baths is among the lost landmarks.
1972 was the year the world’s greatest footballer, Pele, came to Sheffield, with the Brazilian maestro pictured in action for Santos against Sheffield Wednesday.
Other events that year included a spectacular It’s a Knockout-style competition at Norfolk Park, water skiing at Crookes Valley Park, and the popular Rag Parade winding its way through town.
Do these photos bring back any memories for you of life in Sheffield during the early 70s?
