19 photos of Sheffield schools in the 1970s

These nostalgic photos capture life at schools across the city

These photos take you back to the 1970s and nurseries, primary schools and middle schools in Sheffield at the time.

Youngsters can be seen in the playground, at their desks and out and about in the community in these nostalgic images.

One set of pupils are seen preparing for a visit by the Queen while another group are excited to welcome a Womble.

This retro photo gallery also captures the school buildings in which thousands of children in the city spent their formative years.
