But The Moor has experienced huge changes over the years, as this retro photo gallery shows.
Many stores have come and gone as shopping habits have changed. There are few constants other than Sheffield’s famous Atkinsons department store at the foot of The Moor, with the business having celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2022.
These photos, from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s, show lost shops ranging from those which have disappeared more recently, like Debenhams, BHS and Woolworths, to those which vanished long ago including the old Pauldens and Roberts Brothers department stores.
