EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1904, where we are transported into the interior of Hammerton Street School in Darnall. The image showcases a bustling classroom filled with children and teachers, all eagerly engaged in their pursuit of knowledge. The inscription on the back wall reads "Let knowledge grow from more to more" serving as a powerful reminder of the school's mission to nurture young minds. It is fascinating to learn that this particular date, Monday September 12th, marked the first day when children received tuition at this esteemed institution. A significant milestone indeed! Officially opened by Lord Londonderry on October 14th, 1904, Hammerton Street School boasted accommodation for an impressive number of 880 pupils. Architect W. J. Hale Hale designed this magnificent structure which would become a cornerstone of education in Sheffield. As we examine this photograph closely, it becomes evident that each detail has been meticulously captured - from the lighting casting gentle shadows across the room to the uniforms and dresses worn by both students and teachers alike. The group appears united in their quest for learning. The large windows allow natural light to flood into the classroom while offering glimpses into a world beyond these walls. The high ceilings create an atmosphere of grandeur and inspire awe among those who enter. This image serves as a testament not only to Hammerton Street School but also highlights how education has evolved over time. It reminds us that knowledge is timeless and should continue growing
