It’s hard to believe it’s now half a century since those memorable events occurred.
If it still feels like yesterday to you, these atmospheric black-and-white photos will help take you back to the year 1976.
They show scenes around Sheffield, including two of the most popular nightclubs of the 70s, Bay City Rollers fans at City Hall, and youngsters hanging out in the playground.
A couple of Sheffield United legends, a homegrown Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and the old Town Hall toilets also make an appearance in this retro photo gallery.
Old shops, much-loved pub landlords and a lost cinema feature too in this trip down memory lane.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of Sheffield in the 1970s?
