The former Durham County Record Office, now with the trendy name 'The Story', has a collection of records for Darlington College and so that is where I would start looking. The college itself closed in 1978. https://www.thestorydurham.org/our-collections/online-collection/?search=Darlington+College

Try searching Google books.  The prize is mentioned there.

I've seen reference to "Joseph Pease Prize Fund"

"Mr Joseph Pease's prize of £1 is divided as follows, viz. 12s for the best and 8s for the 2nd best 6 Stove or Greenhouse Plants (Orchids excluded) ..."

My dad did his teacher training there in the 1970's! Must have been in one of the last cohorts to go through.
