Back in the 1970s it was the place where Star Wars was shown, and in the 80s you could pop in there for films including, as you’ll see from these pictures, the Bond movie A View to a Kill.
We have put together a gallery of pictures will bring back memories of long forgotten details of what was one of Sheffield’s favourite cinemas for decades, The Gaumont, on Barker’s Pool.
We also have pictures to give you a view inside the revamped Odeon which replaced it later in the 1980s.
Take a look at the galley below and see how many of these views you remember. Pictures courtesy of Picture Sheffield
