As Sheffield is basking in a heatwave, we have taken a look back in the archives to see what the city used to get up to on the long summer days 50 years ago.
The pictures in the gallery show fun in the parks, smiles in the city centre, and some fantastic big organised events held in that decade.
We’ve found pictures all the way from 1970s to 1979, showing how many of the things we can do in the city have changed over the years.
You can take a look in the gallery below.
