Looking at old newpaper reports, there was a Tinsley Council School
at Plumpers Road, off Shepcote Lane, but it was demolished in 1966.
Another was on Bawtry Road, but was a Church of England School.
There was another but I can't place where it was.
If you Google 'Picture Sheffield' and enter Tinsley School, there are
pictures of two of them. Perhaps your Dad might be able to recognise
the school he went to.
