It is a ‘foodie hub’ a short stroll from Sheffield city centre, which in 2023 was named one of the UK’s coolest places to live.
These nostalgic photos show how Broomhill has changed over the years, including some of the neighbourhood’s lost pubs and the shops, cafes and restaurants on Fulwood Road.
