Sheffield retro: 29 nostalgic photos capture buzz about the city in the late 60s

It was the height of the hippy movement, when flower power ruled, before punk rock blasted its way onto the scene with a snarl.

These nostalgic pictures capture life around Sheffield as it was during the late 60s, including the lost pubs, shops and landmarks you might remember.

They show major city centre streets bustling with shoppers during the days of Redgates toy shop, Walsh’s department store and C&A.

This retro photo gallery also captures famous landmarks like the Hole in the Road, Tinsley cooling towers and the Goodwin Fountain at the top of Fargate.

Do these pictures, from 1967, 1968 and 1969, bring back any happy memories for you?
