We are indebted to Bill Hawkins from the Sunderland Antiquarian Society for providing these images of Wearside schools in times gone by.
We’re hoping they bring back memories of happy times.
And if you want to find out more about history on Wearside, why not call in at the Sunderland Antiquarian Society. The Society’s base in Douro Terrace is open between 9.30am and noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
