Nine pictures of Sunderland schoolchildren enjoying Year 4 at Havelock Primary, Town End Primary, St Mary’s, English Martyrs, Wessington Primary and St Benet’s

The school bell has sounded and it’s back to the lessons – but these classroom sessions are all from yesteryear.

Have a look at these 9 scenes from the Sunderland Echo archives. It looks like the children were having a great time as they collected old football shirts at Barnes Juniors in 2008, tried out a penny farthing at St Benet’s in 2009 and planted bulbs at Wessington Primary in 2004.

We’ve got photos from Havelock Primary, Town End Primary, St Mary’s, English Martyrs and to find out more, get browsing through our retro photo collection.
