It's one of Sheffield's most historic shopping streets, which has had its fair share of ups
00:05
and downs over recent years. Chapel Walk, the narrow thoroughfare linking Fargate with
00:11
Norfolk Street, has long been at the heart of retail in Sheffield City Centre, as these
00:16
photos from the 1990s, 80s, 70s and 60s all the way back to 1900s show. Its fortunes may
00:24
have taken a knock in recent decades, with a number of closures, but there is fresh hope
00:29
they can be revived, with stalwarts like independent gift shop Bird's Yard being joined by relative
00:34
newcomers such as Juno Books, and a £1.24m investment announced earlier this year, while
00:41
the ongoing transformation of Fargate should provide a further boost once completed.
00:46
This retro photo gallery features some of the shops, restaurants and cafes which have
00:50
come and gone over the years. From the jewellery store Sheffield Goldsmiths at the beginning
00:55
of the 20th century, to Bo's and Bo's Bookstore, Charles Clincard Shoes, Geisha Cafe, Richard's
01:02
Fashion Shore, Deli France and many more. All photos are shared courtesy of Picture
