Title: Alderman Wood
Post by: geordiesister on Friday 23 December 11 12:57 GMT (UK)

Who was Alderman Wood? He had a school named after him which was Stanley Grammer School and is currently Tanfield School. What connection did Alderman Wood have to this school? Any information would be great thanks :)

I have read the article you mentioned thanks but it still does not answer the question as to who was Alderman Wood

Why not contact the local/county council, I see that there is also a road named after him.

There is mention of an Alderman Wood in Google Books
