Sutherland (later Heywood Community) High School, on Sutherland Road; taken in 1977 from the top of one of the Darnhill high rise flats (cf SD8310 : Sutherland High School, taken from the foot of the same tower block).

The school was built between 1964 and 1966, with the official opening in 1966. The school's name was changed name to Heywood Community School in the early 1990s. It was closed in 2010, and demolished during the winter of 2010-11. (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) - Heywood Advertiser and LinkExternal link - BBC Education)

The tower blocks, which had been built in the 1960s, were demolished in the 1990s. (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) - Link4Life "about Darnhill")
