Sheffield Bands

Pete Hill is a well-known documentary and commercial photographer from Sheffield, best known for his striking photographs of:

• Sheffield streets and architecture from the 1970s onward
• the city’s industrial life
• Sheffield bands and music culture
• brutalist buildings and changing urban landscapes

He was born in Hackenthorpe, Sheffield, in 1957 and began photographing the city as a teenager after getting a Zenit B camera for his 15th birthday. His images have become increasingly valued as historical records of “old Sheffield,”.

In the late 1970s – early 1980s Pete was heavily involved in the Sheffield music scene. Many bands went on to become famous, including: Pulp, Cabaret Voltaire, ABC. This 48 page book features many of his favourite shots and bands from that era.
