dear Listers, I was recently reading documents at Woodhorn about this institution where a great great uncle David Allan worked as a shoemaker from 1901- 1906 when he died from rheumatic fever. Two questions which you may be able to help me with. 1. Are the old buildings on the site of what is now Netherton Park Correctional school the remains of the Reformatory or was it at the other site in Stannington owned by the CC which I think was a hospital site? Are the adjacent farm buildings now holiday lets(I think) part of the Reformatory farm? 2. David was buried at Stannington on the 3rd Jan. 1906. I doubt that there would be a stone but would it be possible to find out where his plot is? I'm sure someone will know the answers. Incidently the records for this institution are fascinating. It seemed very enlightened and some of the staff seemed more trouble than the lads. They seemed to enjoy an 85% "redemption" rate which would be the envy of modern probation services. Best wishes, mary
