Some of the buildings are still there as we have been to see them but that doesn't help with the current search. __________________________________________________________________________ Hi Margaret, It was also known as the Netherton Training School, Stannington. In 1914 the superintendent was a William Howell Banister, but I can't find him in the census. However Ellen Elvish was resident in the 1901 census (RG13/4815/121/1) and she is still there in the 1911 census. The school was in Castle W ard, I hope this helps. Stan Mapstone
