Heaton Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne

In 1965 comprehensive education was still being debated. At this time the boys at Heaton Grammar were kept apart from the girls at Heaton High by a wall just behind the newly built cricket pavilion. Very soon after this was taken the two schools on this site were to be merged with Manor Park school to become a co-educational school, Heaton Manor. The old Manor Park school - only opened in 1959 - has been demolished and the site reused for housing. This building has also gone, to be replaced by a modern school, using much of the playing field area.
