00:00 Britain has been described as a nation of shopkeepers, but times are harder than ever

00:05 for people running the stores we rely upon. So the stars delved into the archives to salute

00:11 the people who've kept Sheffield's high streets stocked over the years and met our

00:15 every demand. This retro photo gallery features some of Sheffield's much-loved shopkeepers

00:22 and the shops they ran during the 90s and 00s, many of which are sadly no longer. From

00:29 florists to exotic pet shop owners and boat sellers, these pictures show the people who

00:34 had the passion and dedication to run their own businesses across Sheffield, from the

00:38 city centre to Ecclesfield and Crookes. There's even an appearance from Sheffield Wednesday

00:44 in England legend Chris Waddle, seen helping to open a new sports shop in Walkley.
