Sheffield retro: 22 evocative photos showing what it was like growing up in Sheffield during the 1960s

Youngsters can be seen at play amid the Park Hill flats, around Gleadless Valley, and in Pitsmoor, among other places

These nostalgic images capture what it was like growing up on estates around Sheffield during the early 1960s.

Youngsters can be seen at play amid the Park Hill flats, around Gleadless Valley, and in Pitsmoor, among other places.

From street kickabouts to games on the elevated walkways of Park Hill, and larking about outside a pub, children can be seen finding fun wherever possible.

This retro photo gallery also shows a popular shop youngsters from the era may recall from trips to Sheffield city centre.

All the pictures were taken by James Leslie Frederick Kellie between 1960 and 1965 and are shared courtesy of Picture Sheffield.
