For what date? For boys or girls? Orphans or for children in care?

More details would help.....

If you know the location of the old buildings you could look at old maps of Morpeth on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html and http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/Morpeth_C14.htm

Shortly after the end of WW2 Longhurst Hall was acquired by the Home Office and converted into an Approved School. Approved Schools were brought to an end due to the 1969 Children's and Young Persons Act. Longhurst Hall became a Community Home with Education in 1973, and closed in 1982.
