Sheffield retro: 21 nostalgic photos capture lost schools of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, including Myers Grove

These photos show some of Sheffield’s fondly remembered lost schools as they looked in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Pupils can be seen in the classroom, sharpening their inquisitive young minds, and letting off steam in the playground.

Even if you never attended one of these schools, you might remember the buildings, several of which were local landmarks.

Many of the old schools pictured have long since been demolished, including one which hosted a seminal gig by future rock legends before being razed to make way for a housing estate.

Perhaps these photos will spark happy memories of childhood friendships, inspiring teachers or schoolyard japes.

The schools pictured in this retro photo gallery include Abbeydale Grange Secondary School, Earl Marshal School, Norfolk Park School, Myers Grove Secondary School, Owler Lane High School, the old Westfield Secondary School building, and Gleadless Valley Secondary School, among others.

Is your old school among them and do these photos bring back any happy memories of your time there?
