We’re looking back here at how Sheffielders holidayed in the past – including the days when the whole of the city seemed to empty out when big firms closed down their works for summer maintenance. Or maybe you remember Star Readers’ Club holidays, which often started with a queue to board a coach outside the York Street offices. Many members of the paper's Women’s Circle went abroad for the first time on group trips.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a digital subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor

4. Having a great time
Youngsters at the Rotary Centre in Castleton in 1977, enjoying a week-long holiday organised by the Rotary Club of Sheffield. In 1920 the first camp was held in Bridlington. All the boys attending had lost their fathers during the First World War. The camps proved so successful that the Rotary Club of Sheffield decided to look for more permanent base a little closer to home. Photo: Sheffield Rotary Club
