It’s one thing to visit your old school and see how much things have changed - and another for it to be demolished and disappear altogether.
But these Sheffield schools will be remembered for years to come by the generations of pupils who grew up in their classrooms.
They include long lost sites like Gleadless Valley Secondary and the “tower block” of Norfolk School, on Craddock Road.
