A brass plaque NZ2154 : The photographer at the Beamish Board School inside states:
Built 1891. A typical Board School based on the one built by Tanfield School Board at East Stanley - a mining community. It was run by Durham County Education Department from 1902 until it closed in 1985.
The school and community grew with the collieries. Families attending the school were involved in the West Stanley Pit Disaster of 1909, when 168 men and boys were lost.....
School presented by Durham County Council, dismantled in 1989 and rebuilt 1991-1 with aid from the European Regional Development Fund and Tyne Tees Television.
