A lost swimming pool, pupils gathered for an assembly at a school which would close a few years later, and a busy video rental store before streaming had killed them off are among the images featured in this retro photo gallery. All these images were taken in and around Sheffield’s Parson Cross estate and were shot by the people living there.
Hairdressers, long-lost shops and the people who ran them, and young gymnasts in action are also shown in these memorable photos from the end of the decade.
