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...
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.
Wednesday went into the last home game of the season with their fate in their own hands after a huge win over Blackburn Rovers the following week got them out of the bottom three, and they were looking to take another step towards safety at S6 against a Baggies side gunning for the play-offs. The talk in the week was about how important the crowd could be in helping them get the job done, and the fans certainly took it to heart as they roared the team on to a fantastic 3-0 win that put them in...

The Owls still have another game to go this season as they look to secure their place in the Championship for the 2024/25 campaign, and they know that they need just a point to do so - not even that if Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle fail to win their games against Norwich City and Hull City. On Monday night The Star’s Football Awards took place at OEC Sheffield in Hillsborough, and our writers, Alex Miller and Joe Crann, were tasked with choosing a Player of the Season, while sports editor,...
The 25-year-old striker, who Wednesday were interested in signing a couple of seasons back, has been a big player for the Baggies in 2024/25, scoring 11 goals in the Championship as they look to secure a top six finish and reach the play-offs for a shot at returning to the Premier League. Thomas-Asante scored two in three prior to the game against Sunderland earlier this month, however in that game he was shown two quickfire yellow cards that resulted in his dismissal, and he was forced to sit...
On Sunday, after a massive win over Blackburn Rovers, the German beckoned his technical team onto the edge of the box in front of a packed out away end so that they could celebrate with the 7,300+ travelling fans together. Henrik Pedersen, Sal Bibbo, Sascha Lense, Chris Powell and Neil Thompson threw their arms in the air alongside the manager to the delight of the Wednesdayites in front of them, and it was another moment that showed how far the team has come since October. Wednesday, as a...

How many of these locations do you recognise and do you remember the old businesses pictured?
