With the Leopold Hotel Sheffield being steeped in so much history, having been initially opened by Prince Leopold back in 1876 and latterly being the city’s Central Technical School (CTS), we are delighted to once again be hosting an unveiling ceremony this month. Former pupil Peter Stringfellow will unveil two new photographs recently recovered from the time when he and his fellow pupil and successful musician Joe Cocker, were at school here.
The pictures will then take pride of place in the hotel for all to see and will be located on what was the main staircase of CTS which is now the hotel’s Firth wing. Peters’ photograph depicts him with his class of 6C in the school year of 1955/56 and Joe Cocker’s photograph shows him and his classmates from 6Y from the school year 1959/60.
