This was the first stop of a solo trip up north (more to follow) some fails some success and something nice. I set the alarm for 3am and off I set on my mini 2 day adventure. The first 2 were fails and this was a backup.
history
Pye Bank Board School opened on 1st December, 1875 by Mrs Mark Firth with a large golden key set with jewels. This was one of the original Sheffield Board Schools, designed by architects Innocent and Brown,and closed in 2003 when a new school was opened nearby. In 1883 two new wings were built on the north side of the main Pye Bank building building providing eight larger rooms, but the population growth continued to outstrip provision and the accommodation problems were not really overcome until 1930 when the Burngreave Secondary Schools opened. Pye Bank School now operated with Infants downstairs and the junior boys and girls upstairs. The two junior departments were amalgamated in 1936 as Pye Bank Junior Mixed School under one headteacher. The growth of the school was unstoppable. Even the Luftwaffe could not slow its progress, though it did its best. In December 1940 the school suffered severe bomb damage and was closed for five months whilst the roof was repaired. Many of the pupils were evacuated to Lincolnshire where they were accompanied and taught by some of their own teachers.
