Swalwell School
Swalwell Board School was opened in 1874/5 by Whickham School Board, coming under the jurisdiction of Durham County Council in 1904 and Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council in1974. Having been extended in 1893 it functioned as a school for all age groups until 1964 when seniors attended Whickham school. In 1973 the infants moved to a new school in Southview Terrace and in 1987 the juniors also moved there and the old school was closed and demolished.
