Beighton was a small village which only became part of Sheffield in 1967, having previously been in the county of Derbyshire.
The rural neighbourhood, which was home to several farms, has undergone considerable development over the years.
One of the biggest changes was the opening in 1929 of Brookhouse Colliery, between Beighton and Swallownest, just over the border in Rotherham. The coal mine would close in 1985 and become part of Rother Valley Country Park.
This retro photo gallery takes us from the dawn of the 20th century right up until the 1990s. As well as the old colliery and the area’s many farm buildings, it features lost shops, old pubs, schools and forgotten landmarks like the Central Cinema.
Also pictured is the long lost Beighton railway station, along with photos of the many floods to have hit the area over the years.
Do these nostalgic images, shared courtesy of Picture Sheffield, bring back any memories?
