Now sadly some of these stores are just distant memories but thanks to Sheffield City Archive, take a look back at some of the shops from years gone by to see which you remember most.
Can you remember doing your Christmas shopping in the city centre before the shift to online trading?
Enjoy this trip down memory lane.
