This retro photo gallery celebrates the cafes and coffee bars around Sheffield during the 60s and 70s.
They provided us with our daily caffeine fix back then, but they were also a vital part of the city’s social fabric, bringing people together over a cuppa and a bite to eat.
From catching up with friends to important business meetings, or simply a much-needed pit-stop during your busy day, they were there when you needed them.
The businesses pictured in this retro photo gallery range from much-loved independent cafes to well-known chains.
The nostalgic images show some of the most popular places to eat and drink, not just in the city centre but out in the suburbs, including Tinsley, Sharrow, Burngreave and Grimesthorpe.
Do you remember dining at the Golden Egg, or grabbing a cuppa at the Cosy Cafe before hopping on your train across the road at Sheffield Midland Railway Station?
Even if you didn’t drink at these cafes, these photos will take you back to a lost era, when Sheffield’s streets looked very different.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you, and what cafe or coffee shop do you miss most?
