The church on the right is the only building still standing today of this group of three buildings. the church on the left was made from corrugated iron. The photographer has added two lines of identical description, as this photo was intended to be turned into a picture postcard, these were very popular at this time.
The institute was opened in May 1901 by Major AE Burdon JP, Director of the Seaton Delaval Coal Company. The key presented to Major Burdon at the opening can be seen below.
