Wasn’t going to post this originally as I couldn’t get any internals as it was securely Heras fenced-off. Pity as the building apparently contained some nice internal art deco features which Sheffield possesses precious few of these days. When I took the first lot of pictures the place was stripped ready for demolition and awaiting the final sign-off from the council. Was hoping an opportunity was going to present itself to have a look inside but alas the demolition started out of the blue and it was too late. Anyhow thought I would now post the pictures as no one else has covered this place and no one ever will so externals are better than nothing. Here’s the history.
Bannerdale Centre served the local community since being built the 1930s. It started life as Abbeydale Girls Grammar School. In 1958 it became a mixed comprehensive school before being closed as a school after the 2009/10 academic year for being listed amongst the schools with worst GCSE examination results. Having been empty for some considerable time it was brought back into use as teacher training/Education Dept. Having finally closed since 2013, it is now being demolished and joins the recently demolished 1958 Abbeydale Boys Grammar School, Abbeydale Grange and Holt House. The site will be cleared for housing and 100 new homes.
On with the pre-demo pictures.
