11 more fantastic photos of Sunderland and Durham children starting school in 2004

Hudson Road, Havelock Primary, Grangetown, St Patrick’s, Richard Avenue and Valley Road

We’re back with more photos of Sunderland children starting their school journey 22 years ago.

Back in 2004, our Sunderland Echo photographers took all of these pictures of children looking proud on their first day in the classroom.

There are reminders from Hudson Road, Havelock Primary, Grangetown, St Patrick’s, Richard Avenue and Valley Road.

Others were taken at Dubmire, Fatfield, Usworth Grange, Barmston and Easington Village.

It’s a great selection of photo memories and we would like your recollections of them.

Or maybe there is another aspect of Sunderland’s past that you would like us to spotlight. It might be your favourite restaurant, club, pub, nightclub, shop or school.

It could be a factory that you worked at and you might want to get back in touch with former colleagues. Or it might be a favourite Sunderland match that you would like to relive.

Whatever it is, tell us more by emailing [email protected]
