Description: | Firth Park School was originally "The Brushes" a private house set in its own extensive grounds (now covered by the Brushes" council estate.) In 1919 Brush House and 69 acres of grounds were bought by Sheffield Council from Miss Wake to be turned into a secondary school; later becoming Firth Park Grammar School. The boys wore distinctive Red (maroon) Caps thus giving the school its nickname. It amalgamated in 1969 with Hatfield House Lane Secondary School to become Firth Park Comprehensive (Brushes) later renamed Firth Park Community College See: Britain in Old Photographs, Shire Green, Wincobank & Ecclesfield by Brian Woodriff; Ref. 942.74 S.
