00:00 Devonshire Street is one of Sheffield's most popular shopping parades, thanks to its mixture of quirky independent shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.
00:09 It's long been a great place to meet friends for a drink or a bite to eat, or to hunt for a special gift or something with which to treat yourself, making it a beloved haunt for generations of residents and visitors to Sheffield.
00:22 This retro photo gallery, taking you back in time through the noughties and 1990s to the beginning of the 80s, shows just some of the much missed shops and places to eat and drink or dance a night away which have been lost over the years.
00:36 The nostalgic images also feature some of the venues which are still going strong many years later, often after numerous changes over the years.
00:44 From revellers cutting some shapes on the dance floor at the hip joint club night in the late 90s, to the construction of the hugely popular Devonshire Green Park, these pictures are bound to bring back memories for many readers.
00:56 Among the lost businesses shown, along with the characters who ran them, are Bistro Casablanca, Mr Kite's Celebrated Wine Bar and the Mash House Restaurant.
