Archbishop Cranmer Church of England Primary School on Lingfield Approach in Moortown will be remembered by generations of former pupils. The school, who catered for children, aged four to 11, closed in August 2007, as a result of an amalgamation/merger. Former pupils included Micah Richards who grew up in Chapeltown and played for the Leeds United youth system. He went on to play more than 200 times in total for Manchester City and Aston Villa and won 13 full England caps. These wonderful photos, plucked from the Yorkshire Evening Post, are sure to evoke memories for those like Micah who went to the school back in the day.
