Sunderland school days in 1974 as we turn back the clock 50 years

Sports teams, rehearsing for shows and practising on the gym equipment

If you went to school in Sunderland 50 years ago, this feature should hold great memories for you.

We have 9 photos from Wearside schools in 1974 and they were all provided to us by Bill Hawkins from Sunderland Antiquarian Society.

Here's a view from St Anthony's, Thornhill, Red House, and Fulwell Juniors.

There's plenty more too but why not have a look for yourselves.
