Hi, I am from Darlington and I would love to hear memories of the old orphanage/St Peter's School. Whenever I pass the building I am so curious, it is such a shame it is going to waste as it is a lovely building. I have researched it on the web and read stories of the Spanish children that were sent there, it's quite sad to think it could all be gone if demolished. Ruth

I used to be a pupal at St Peter's, it was not a nice place at all.

I have read some of the history and find it very disturbing in the least, my questions are - why it's not being knocked down? what have they got to hide? no smoke without fire.
