Description: | Northern Counties School for the Deaf has had a long history as an important part of the Deaf community in the North East. It was built as a boarding school in 1860 in Jesmond, Newcastle. It was funded by donations, particularly by the engineer William Armstrong. Armstrong employed former pupils of the school at his Elswick engineering works. The building replaced an earlier school founded in 1838. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East buildings and views children Newcastle education | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
