Photocopies and photographs

Catalogue Description

These photographs were donated by a former pupil of Hookergate Grammar School, who attended the school in the 1960s. He created a website to enable former pupils to post photographs, memories, news and contact details, from which these images originate.
The school was built, together with others, in the early 1930s by Durham County Council, aiming to give miners' and other workers' children better opportunities to access university education - 'the child of the worker in the colliery village now had facilities equal to the child of the rich man'. Opening in March 1932, it was originally Hookergate Secondary School, and it was for boys and girls. In 1966 it was extended and became a Grammar Technical School. In the 1970s it merged with Rowlands Gill Secondary Modern School and became Hookergate Comprehensive School. In 1974 it was transferred to Gateshead MBC and, as a result of falling numbers with the closure of all the local coal mines, was closed in 2011, amalgamating with Ryton Comprehensive School as Charles Thorp Comprehensive School (Charles Thorp Academy from September 2014).
There are school records at Tyne and Wear Archives Service.
