Yorkshire retro: 18 nostalgic photos show famous lost landmarks you may remember from the 60s and 70s

One featured in a classic TV show, while another is referenced in a hit song.

They were some of the most famous landmarks of their day, with many of them still greatly missed by those who are old enough to remember them.

These photos show lost 60s and 70s landmarks around Yorkshire, from popular shops to iconic industrial sites, old swimming pools to once-bustling railway stations.

All of these buildings and other structures were still standing at some point during the 60s or 70s.

Some were built then, others had been around much longer. But all have disappeared for good at some point.

Among the sites featured are a 70s building used as a filming location for Blake’s 7, music venues which hosted top acts including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and a fountain referenced in Pulp’s Britpop classic Disco 2000.

How many of these lost landmarks do you recognise, and are there any others from that era which you miss?
