A Study of Health and Social Class in Sunderland and Durham

St Anthony's Girls' School - History Club

St Anthony's Girls' School's History Club ran a project about health and social conditions in Sunderland and Durham throughout the nineteenth century. This project allowed pupils to get 'hands on' experience of history research, studying primary sources from the period. Pupils looked at maps, photographs and census information from the time. This included an excursion to Durham Record Office to look at material within an archives centre.
