Pete Hill’s photographs document Sheffield in the 1970s with clarity, directness and close attention to everyday life. Alongside his pictures of the city itself, his work also captures key moments in British music and youth culture, building a body of photographs that now stands as an important record of the period.
From streets and housing estates to live music and football crowds, Hill’s pictures hold the character of the time without overstating it. The result is a body of work rooted in observation and closely tied to the social history of Britain in the late 1970s.
