No, we're not talking about the things that we're all missing because of the coronavirus lockdown period - though there are plenty of things that we'd add to that list.

We asked some of you to tell us your favourite memories and things to do in good ol' Sheffield, from days gone by.

From swimming in Millhouses Lido, to shopping in Sheffield's 'hole in the road' - you Sheffielders came forth with your favourite tales after taking a stroll down memory lane.

So, which of these things do you miss doing the most?

Here are 18 things that you used to be able to do in Sheffield, as chosen by the people who loved them...

1. Going to punk gigs at The Marples

Wow, a building with masses of history. The Marples pub and hotel in Fitzalan Square is known as a location that was badly hit by the Sheffield Blitz in 1940. But, in the '70s, it became the go-to location for Sheffield's thriving punk scene.

2. Visiting Redgates Toy Shop as a kid

The iconic Redgates Toy Shop moved about quite a bit, starting life as a sewing machine shop on Fargate, before moving to The Moor. It was bombed in the Sheffield Blitz and moved to a temporary home in Ecclesall Road, but eventually moved back to The Moor in 1954.

3. Swimming outside at Millhouses Lido

The Lido at Millhouses Park, a successor to the open-air swimming pool, was a hit with kids and adults alike on warm summer days. It was sadly closed in the 1980s, apparently due to fears about water pollution.

4. Stumbling out of The Limit nightclub

The Limit was a popular nightclub in West Street, converted from an old basement. It even had a claim to fame as a venue that hosted U2 when they were starting out.

5. Skating at the Silver Blades Ice Rink

The Silver Blades Ice Rink, in Queens Road, was opened in 1965 and was hugely popular in the 70s, when a trip to the ice rink was characteristic of many children's weekends.

6. Shopping at the original Castle Market

The Castle Market, at the bottom of Fargate, was closed in 2013 when the Moor Market opened up. Demolition began a couple of years later.

7. Using a public loo for a penny

This one's an unusual one, but there is certainly a distinct lack of public conveniences in the city, these days. Apparently, you used to be able to get a "wash and brush up" for a threepence - a quick wash and shave, in today's terms.

8. Making concertinas with the old colourful bus tickets

Bus tickets aren't quite the same these days - most of them are digital. But the paper ones we do have just aren't thick enough, or colourful enough, to make into a convincing concertina.

9. Shopping for shoes at Robena's

Robena Shoes were a dedicated shoe shop at the now closed and demolished Castle Market. Apparently, anyone worth their fashion-salt in the '70s and '80s had a pair - high fashion, at the time!

10. Snacks and shopping at Schofields

A day of shopping and lunching with your mum or your gran is a time-honoured tradition for us all and, if you lived in Sheffield before the '80s, you'd have probably done that at Schofields Department Store in Angel Street. Sadly, it was closed in 1982 and is now an Argos.

11. Shopping at the Hole in the Road

The Hole in the Road was an iconic Sheffield landmark in Castle Square. People would visit the "subterranean shopping precinct" to grab a bargain, or gaze the iconic fish tank.

12. Visiting the parrots in the Botanical Gardens

So say, there were a pair of parrots that used to live in the Botanical Gardens in Broomhall. Sheffield certainly has a lively wildlife scene, so maybe we'll see parrots in the Gardens again soon?

13. Wandering around the Rag and Tag

Another much-loved market, which was in Dixon Lane. People say they used to love shopping there, because it sold all-sorts of weird and wonderful things that we just don't see these days.

14. Rowing on the boating lake in Graves Park

Kids of the '50s and '60s would no doubt have found the highlight of their weekends spent rowing a boat on Graves Park Boating Lake. Sadly, it has now been allowed to deteriorate and there are no longer any boats.

15. Heading for a night out to The Casbah

Another popular nightclub in Sheffield's city centre. The Casbah held on until well into the noughties, but was eventually closed - much to the dismay of it's regular clientele.

16. Heading to Woolworths

This one's a sore spot for many of us, as the loss of Woolworths and their legendary pick 'n' mix selection is still raw. Wooldworths opened on The Moor in 1923, but the building has now been split into various shops.

17. Having a few drinks at The Wapentake

Another Sheffield pub that has been lost in recent years, The Wapentake was a popular spot on Cambridge Street. It was apparently well known for always closing 15 minutes before other pubs, at 10.45pm.

18. Getting sozzled at The Buccaneer

The Baccaneer, the '60s' answer to Corp, is apparently known for it's sticky floors and rough-and-ready ambiance. Yep, sounds like Corp!
