We asked readers across Yorkshire what gets them feeling most nostalgic about the decade, and it stirred up some very happy memories.
Many of you remember that era fondly as the best time of your life, whether it was the shops, the fashion, the music or simply your lost youth you are pining most for today.
It wasn’t all good, of course. As one reader pointed out, it was the decade of the three-day week, the bread strike, the miners’ strike and the winter of discontent, while soaring inflation left many people facing crippling mortgage repayments.
But, whether it’s because you’re looking through rose-tinted glasses or not, most of you remember the 70s fondly.
Asked what you missed most about the decade, some of you simply replied ‘everything’ or ‘happy days’.
Others were more specific, recalling great nights out at lost venues, good times playing on the streets with friends, and, of course, the prices.
Below are some of the things that came up most frequently when we asked what you miss about the 70s, with retro photos to bring the memories flooding back.
If you’re after more 70s nostalgia, you might enjoy this photo gallery looking back at the start of the decade.
13. The lost landmarks
There are many much-loved Yorkshire landmarks from the 70s that we have lost. The most popular suggestions from readers included the International Pool in Leeds, and Sheffield's Hole in the Road subway, best remembered for the fish tank in the wall. | Sheffield Newspapers Photo: Peter Tuffrey
14. The markets
Lots of people have fond memories of shopping at the market in the 70s. Some of you miss the old-look Leeds Kirkgate Market, as it was before the fire of 1975, while others yearn for the days of Castle Market, pictured, and Sheaf Market, in Sheffield. | Sheffield Newspapers
15. The beer
Many people have fond memories of the glory days of beer-making in Yorkshire, when Tetley's was brewed in Leeds, and Wards and Stones bitters were produced in Sheffield. You can still buy all three, but, for many of you, they don't taste the same as when they were made in the lost breweries. | Sheffield Newspapers
16. The music
Lots of people miss the music of the 70s, and who wouldn't, with acts like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder and ABBA in their prime. It's not just the bands people miss, though, but some of the much-loved music venues from the era that we have lost. Among the most famous is the old Black Swan, pictured, in Sheffield, also known in its time as the Compleat Angler, the Mucky Duck and the Boardwalk. That was where The Clash famously made their live debut on June 4, 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols. Years later, the venue would play a big part in the Arctic Monkeys' rapid rise to stardom. | Sheffield Newspapers
