The Beatles played their first Sheffield gig at the Azena Ballroom in Gleadless on April 2, 1963, booked by a young Peter Stringfellow.
Located on White Lane in Gleadless, it was actually the second location for The Beatles first gig in the city after Stringfellow was forced to move it from the Black Cat Club after the band's explosion in popularity.
It was one of many gigs both in the city and across the region over the course of two years until their 1965 Sheffield City Hall performance.
The Fab Four said goodbye to the city on December 8, 1965, performing at Barker’s Pool during their final UK tour.
We take a step back in time to unearth images of the Fab Four, places they stayed, venues they played and we even found a set-list from one of the shows back then.
Do you remember when Beatlemania hit South Yorkshire in the 1960s?

The Gaumont Theatre in Doncaster opened in 1934 and was a popular music venue for many years, hosting the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Buddy Holly. It later became an Odeon cinema. The building was demolished in 2009 to make way for a housing development. The Gaumont is pictured here in 1971. | Sheffield Newspapers
