11 pictures from the days we said goodbye to these former South Tyneside schools

Schools out forever. It was certainly the case for these centres of learning when they closed for good.

Thousands of former pupils will have memories of these famous buildings in South Tyneside.

They provided lessons, sports days and so much more for decades – and here is the day when they either closed for good, or when the bulldozers moved in.

Were you a former pupil at one of them? What are your best memories and who was your favourite teacher?

Take a look through, get in touch and tell us more.
