They capture life at schools in Leeds and other parts of Yorkshire during the 60s and 70s.
The nostalgic images depict a time long before chicken nuggets, mobile phones, and tablets in the classroom.
They are likely to bring back memories for many people of cacophonous recorder lessons, riding your chopper bike to school and having to do PE in your underwear if you forgot your kit.
Happy scenes show children enjoying games in the playground, dancing around the maypole and enjoying the traditional pastime of egg rolling.
Pictured too are popular teachers and headteachers you might remember, plus some much-missed lollipop ladies who helped a generation of pupils to and from school.
Alongside the pupils and staff in this retro gallery are some special guests, including pop royalty in the form of Cliff Richard, while children are also seen rehearsing a dance for a visit by the Queen.
These photos are sure to bring back fond memories for many people of the days said to be the best of your life, but they also capture the harsh realities facing schools in the 60s and 70s.
One picture shows a teacher conducting a lesson in the cramped staffroom due to overcrowding, another depicts pupils inspecting the damage after tar was sprayed over their new school, and a third shows children packed into a classroom with paint peeling from the walls.
Do these photos bring back any memories for you of the 60s or 70s, and what are your abiding memories of your school days?
