Was your loved one on stage in the 1980s or 1990s? Perhaps they are pictured in one of these nostalgic views.

We have photos from Hastings Hill, Redby, and Hylton Red House scools. Check out the scenes at Ryhope Infants and Quarry View Infants as well.

And we also have a church Nativity and one from a dance school.

And after taking a looking through this collection, why not enjoy this previous feature which looked at the town’s school Nativities in 2005.
