00:00These shops have provided generations of Sheffielders with their sugar fix over the years.
00:07This retro photo gallery looks back at confectioners in Sheffield from as early as the dawn of the 20th century.
00:14The sweet shops pictured were located around Sheffield, from the Moor and West Street in the city centre to Crookes and Mearsbrook in the suburbs.
00:22As well as shops around the city, the pictures in this gallery show workers at the old Thorntons factory in wood seats.
00:29Thorntons originated in Sheffield but closed its shops after 110 years in 2021, though it still sells its sweets online and they are also available in supermarkets.
