Love them or hate them, we’ve lived with them for a long time, so maybe some have grown on you. Or possibly you can’t wait to see the back of them! Take a look at our picture gallery and see which ones we think are on the list.
Don’t forget to look at our Facebook group, Retro and memories - Sheffield Star, where you can join in the conversation with other readers or share your own memories and photographs. And of course there’s still our popular Saturday Retro supplement.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a digital subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor
1. Kelvin from the air
Kelvin Flats was a sprawling complex of much-needed social housing in Upperthorpe. Like that other optimistic 'streets in the sky' council project, Park Hill, the flats became increasingly rundown and plagued by anti-social behaviour. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
2. Eyes down
Sheffield Odeon Cinema on Flat Street, seen here when it opened in July 1956, took years to be completed as the war interrupted its construction. In 1971 it became a Top Rank bingo hall and is now a Mecca Bingo venue. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
3. Depressing Flat Street
Copley's Cafe on the raised arcade in Flat Street, remembered fondly by many, wasn't an eyesore in itself but the big, depressing building it was part of certainly was and is. Who remembers the escalators to get people up to the Cinecenta cinema and the Fiesta nightclub? Photo: Barry Richardson
4. Nightlife survivor
Speaking of the Fiesta complex, here is the part that faces on to Arundel Gate in 1980, when it was the Top Rank Suite. It may resemble a giant public toilet but thousands of people over the years have had great nights at the venue also known as the Roxy, which is now the O2 Academy. The Fiesta next door is now an Odeon cinema. Photo: Sheffield Newspapers Ltd
