A FAMILY history researcher is seeking help in tracing a photograph of an old school.

Dennis Gates, from Newton Hall, in Durham City, is compiling a family history for a friend and is looking for information about Gilesgate Moor Primary School, known locally as the Tin School.

Although he has gathered a reasonable amount of the school's history, he is keen to find a photograph to go with it.

Anyone who has a photograph of the school, preferably dating to the early 1970s, is asked to contact Mr Gates on 0191-386 0770.
