Sheffield retro: 29 of the best photos taking you back in time along Chesterfield Road

These nostalgic pictures show how it has changed over the years, including lost shops, the old trams which once ran there and a long lost toll bar

Stretching from Heeley and Meersbrook, through Woodseats and beyond Meadowhead to the city limits, Chesterfield Road is one of Sheffield’s longest and busiest streets.

This retro photo gallery shows how it has changed over the years, including lost shops, the old trams which once ran there and the long lost Heeley toll bar.

The Chantrey Picture House and Woodseats Palace Cinema have disappeared too.

Amid all the changes, there have been some constants, including the Big Tree and Chantrey Arms pub, though even they have altered considerably.

These nostalgic pictures take you from the 1990s all the way back to the second half of the 19th century.
