jenns Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Duchess Road Abbeydale Secondary King Ecgberts Shirecliffe College We were the first boys ever to attend King Ecgberts, we moved up from Abbeydale, up until then it'd been an all girls school, result was there were around three or four girls to every boy for that first year....I liked it.

Sheffield History Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 @Joe Watkin @jenns - A great photo of Duchess Road School if you've never seen it. Not quite sure what exercises are going on here. Looks a bit strange to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
