Ted Mace chonicled the transformations taking place across the city during those decades, including the arrival of Supertram, the last days of the bendibuses, and the decline and rise of businesses along Fargate and Division Street, in Sheffield city centre.
This retro photo gallery also includes bygone scenes from suburbs including Attercliffe, Walkley and Heeley, which are sure to bring plenty of memories flooding back for those who’ve been around long enough.
