Rotherham retro: 21 nostalgic photos capture late 90s life, including lost pub and nightclub

How many of the people and places pictured do you remember?

These photos take you back to the tail-end of the 90s, when a young Britney Spears ruled the charts, and the Millennium Bug was public enemy number one.

They capture life around Rotherham back then, from the schoolyard to popular shops, pubs and clubs of the day.

Do you remember nights out at The Zone nightclub, swimming at Herringthorpe Leisure Centre, or drinking at the old Belvedere pub, on Moorgate Road?

This retro photo gallery captures all those places and much more, including the school nativity, pupils celebrating their GCSE results, and one lucky youngster who got to be mayor for the day.

Do these nostalgic pictures bring back any happy memories for you, and what do you miss most about the 90s?
