I was at Sheffield Poly from 1971 to 1975. You brought back a lot of memories - especially the photo on Sharrow Vale Road, showing the Porter Cottage (4.52). In '75 I lived on Cowlishaw Road (at the top on the right) and used the PC as my local. Great little pub.
Thank You so much for this lovely piece of Sheffield nostalgia! Eeee by Eck lad tha done thee Sen proud! Thank you for making a Brightside lass very happy. 🙂
Great video of my home town. Shot in black and white with a few desolate areas thrown in; of course it will look grim. The 70s was a great time to live in Sheffield, I was in my teens!!!
Fabulous Thank you so much Pete So many memories.... We left in 1972 because 18 months of strikes + Dock Strikes ruined our overseas TIR Moving business Ontario has been good for oour family R Cheers Ann Wardley
great work Pete! It's shocking how poor and downtrodden everyone looks...and snow was such a thrill because everything looked, briefly, a little less grim
Sheffield was great in the 70s/80s and even the 90s but now it's not there's absolutely nothing the markets gone shops closing down pubs too and all because the rates are too high and people can't afford to go out anymore
The 4 lads at 4:07 , the second from left with long blonde hair is my brother Martin, and the Gas holders behind which used to amaze me as a kid with their massive size when fully erected are now gone like a lot of old Sheffield .
I just realised yesterday that those Four kids at 4.10 are stood near the Farfield Inn on Neepsend Lane. I walked past there most days and i have been watching this for awhile but only just came to me lol. I wonder where they are now they have the sort of faces which you think you would still know if you saw them today?
Just how I remember Sheffield. Grim, cold, filthy, no jobs, but a wonderful place for developing great bands. And everything really was in black and white, only the coffee and cream buses brought any colour.
plenty of jobs then mate. We still had a steel industry, Sheffield was rated the fourth best city for shopping in the UK,It's own buses etc. Yes, it was a bit grey and grim but it was populated by Sheffielders, run by Sheffielders and seemed more settled than it is in 2019.
@@thewomble1509 4 years on its worse dude, have you been to the Haymarket area, High St or Fargate recently, how about Page Hall, Darnall etc? No? I'll take you if you want.
It was not that bad, people use to wear garish cheques, there were neon shop window signs, most cars were seen in colours you could only get a Lamborghini now, the 80s and the early 90s were grim though.
@@doyoumind9356 i think in some area's maybe but not ours thats for sure. I heard they are going to put a charge on diesels using the parkway going towards town.
It really was a tuff grimmy place! But was it so bad? Did the pubs need bouncers? Did people not respect each other? Ok we don't want to go back to the attitudes of those times and breathing in the crap from industry. But was it so bad? 🤔
@@rojolagarta I seem to think someone said it was near the park on abbeydale road, is it mount pleasant because the road is the same but with different buildings on it.
I started work in Sheffield in 1973 and I can assure you that it was not grim at all compared with the state of UK presently!!
Well said 👍

I was the welding engineer on building the gasholder at @2:36 by C& W Walker Co of Donnington Shropshire., in 1963.

So many of these images of the city centre brought back childhood memories for me...thanks.

You wouldn't recognise the place now

So much for progress
The photos are tremendous 📷🏆
Damn, thought I'd be on at least one of these pics....
great work Pete! It's shocking how poor and downtrodden everyone looks...and snow was such a thrill because everything looked, briefly, a little less grim
Aye, it’s grim up North 👍🏻✊🏻
TROLLS TROLLS Beckham & Romeo

3:14 Oh my goodness...Otto's furniture shop on London Rd!
3:24 Abbeydale Rd, picture house/cinema.
great photos...took me back
Fantastic happy memories
That's how I remember good old Sheff. A damn fine city, full of life and not at all grim.
Sheffield was great in the 70s/80s and even the 90s but now it's not there's absolutely nothing the markets gone shops closing down pubs too and all because the rates are too high and people can't afford to go out anymore
love the music and video thanx
The 4 lads at 4:07 , the second from left with long blonde hair is my brother Martin, and the Gas holders behind which used to amaze me as a kid with their massive size when fully erected are now gone like a lot of old Sheffield .
I remember those days. Nothing much as changed.
love the snow

I remember when I was a lad...........nice one, great images of sheffield !!
I used to buy stuff from Jackson's (3:20) more or less when that photo was taken. Lived at 377 Abbeydale Road.
Great little video. 4:47 is Junction Road showing the bottom of Hunter House Road and 4:51 is Sharrowvale Road
Egg Box goes up, Egg Box comes down.
Brilliant to see jimmy Jackson’s on Abbeydale road @3:24 lived across the road . Used to window shop in Barringtons window😂😂
At 4.55 - that's Sharrowvale Road isn't it? Previously known as 'dog sh*t alley' by Sheffielders - now 'gentrified' ...
Before my time. Brilliant.
my parents use to own sheaf view in early 90s....time ago that pic...lol;
Hey up Jason pub was looking better back then than now, apart from all the flattened buildings around it
Ominous music. Half expecting rage filled zombies to appear any minute 🤪

yep....grim, but fond memories.......... for some strange reason
Still shit thank you Labour And all the do gooders

Great video. Would it be possible to label the images to show the locations?
Love the music to this sounds like the early Human League
At 3.47 the view looks like Buttermere Road as seen from the bridge at the bottom of Woodseats Road ...
I think it's Rydal road.
Ps Thanks for the Abbeydale Road photos
Who did the music on this please?
Looks grim, but so interesting. I've only known Sheffield in the 2010s.
It was not that bad, people use to wear garish cheques, there were neon shop window signs, most cars were seen in colours you could only get a Lamborghini now, the 80s and the early 90s were grim though.
Jarvis cocker has not changed one bit.
brilliant video .. well enjoyed it .. thanks .. also that guys haircut looks out of place in this video 0:54
4:26 Hyde park looming over everything! .... the Apex they should never have taken down!
Sheffield maybe grim, dirty, smelly, polluted ect but thats how i love it
Didn't Sheffield Council deal with the pollution .. I'm thinking specifically of air pollution

Give me the 70s and 80s anyday!
Excellent look back, most of it gone, when women wore headscarves and used shopping bags!
What year was this from?
Steel, Steel, Steel.!
At 2mins 11 sec-where is it please?
That's Woodside Estate which was on on Pitsmoor Road and Pye Bank Road.
Thank you.

+rojolagarta I'd say that was a beer off shop trather than a pub :)
+aflatminor
Yes but do you know where it was?

Some hard men in that video
And now Sheffield city centre is a dump
Typical remark from the City of the 'Kingston Upon Hell' Lol !
Sheaf View pub at 2:48. One of my old locals as a Heeley lad
Note the Owls graffiti!
Disgusting Graffiti Literally
@@Jay-ru3mu..lol
Those concrete structure are more ugly than anything else
back in the day when racism was rife in sheffield.
I remember Pakistanis being racist towards me.
@@gama3302 what goes around eh
