00:00 It was Sheffield in the colourful days of glam rock, but in print all was still in black
00:08 and white. But now, nearly 50 years on, we have used technology to transform nostalgic
00:16 black and white pictures taken in 1975 from our archives, transforming them into colour
00:24 to show the world in which we took these pictures in the colour that was the reality of the
00:29 day. The selection of pictures we have taken ranges right across Sheffield's cultural
00:36 spectrum all the way from our schools and universities to clubs, shops and cinemas.
00:44 Some of the little details take the reader right back to the 70s with little things like
00:49 the poster of the pop group Queen in one of the images and the old style cassette player
00:55 perched on a desk. There are also pictures of crowds of city youngsters waiting to see
01:01 royal visitors lining the streets as they wait for them to arrive. The fashions and
01:07 haircuts meanwhile could scarcely come from any other era.
