00:15 every demand. This retro photo gallery features some of Sheffield's much-loved shopkeepers
00:22 and the shops they ran during the 90s and 00s, many of which are sadly no longer. From
00:29 florists to exotic pet shop owners and boat sellers, these pictures show the people who
00:34 had the passion and dedication to run their own businesses across Sheffield, from the
00:38 city centre to Ecclesfield and Crookes. There's even an appearance from Sheffield Wednesday
