It is a ‘foodie hub’ a short stroll from Sheffield city centre, which in 2023 was named one of the UK’s coolest places to live. These nostalgic photos show how Broomhill has changed over the years, including some of the neighbourhood’s lost pubs and the shops, cafes and restaurants on Fulwood Road. How many of these locations do you recognise and do you remember the old businesses pictured?
This retro gallery of black and white photographs show just how much life has changed in the city over the last 60 years.
Supermarket shopping has changed considerably over the years. These photos take you back to the 1980s and 1990s in Sheffield, long before a Lidl or Aldi was popping up on every street corner. They show some of the lost supermarket chains like Safeway, which was bought by Morrisons, and Netto, Fine Fare and Somerfield. Some of these stores have gone for good while others have been converted, like the large Waitrose at the bottom of Ecclesall Road, which used to be a Safeway store, and the old...
These photos take you back to the 1970s and nurseries, primary schools and middle schools in Sheffield at the time. Youngsters can be seen in the playground, at their desks and out and about in the community in these nostalgic images. One set of pupils are seen preparing for a visit by the Queen while another group are excited to welcome a Womble. This retro photo gallery also captures the school buildings in which thousands of children in the city spent their formative years.
Sheffield city centre is undergoing a major transformation, with a new hotel, a huge food hall and a clutch of exciting independent shops opening soon. Fargate is undergoing a major overhaul too, while the old Cole Brothers department store and the former Kingdom nightclub are both set for a new lease of life. These pictures show how much Sheffield city centre has changed since the 1980s and 90s, with some areas barely recognisable. Lost pubs, old cinemas and much-missed shops all feature in...
The movie is about the personal, political, and romantic clashes that arise during a battle to construct an American utopia, and it was shaped in part by the speculative prophecy of H.G. Wells, a murderous conspiracy from ancient Roman history, the devastation of the September 11 attacks, and the outsize influence of attractive cable news hosts, among a litany of other inspirations. “To that, I added everything I had ever read or learned about,” Coppola says in a statement. Vanity Fair has the...

From Parson Cross to Gleadless Valley, these photos capture life on Sheffield’s estates during the 1960s and 70s. A man rests with his dog on a bench beside a pretty boating lake, in one image, while in another youngsters can be seen cycling past immaculately maintained lawns. Elsewhere, in these black and white photos, washing flutters in the breeze and a crane towers over a new housing block under construction. Schools, pubs and shops can be seen in these photos from estates around the city,...
It has been been a key part of Edinburgh’s transport system for nearly 70 years - but this week fears were raised that the bus station in St Andrew Square could be forced to close as the owners, pension fund Coal Pension Properties, were unwilling to renew the lease. An apparent change of heart by the fund has opened the door to talks with the council on extending the lease when it expires in 2027 or even selling the site to the council, but the situation remains uncertain. Here is a selection...
Back in the 1980s, there was no Meadowhall or internet. Sign up for newsletters from The Star And that meant if you wanted to go shopping, the place to go was Sheffield city centre. That was the 1980s in Sheffield. In those days, Fargate was packed with shoppers, and The Moor was similarly busy, while the route between the two, along Pinstone Street, also remained bustling. Similarly places like West Street were thriving. We have put together a picture gallery which shows some of the best loved...
