==History==<br />
<br />
The hospital has its origins in ''Earl's House Industrial School'', which was opened as a [[vocational]] residential school by the magistrates of [[County Durham]] in 1885 on the former site of Earl's House Farm.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Earl's House School |url=https://dcc-live-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/EarlsH_1.pdf |access-date=22 March 2022 |website=Durham County Council}}</ref> The school was declared unfit for purpose in the 1920s and, in 1928, Earl's House Sanatorium was established on the site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=1271&page=18|title=Details: Earls House Hospital, Durham|publisher=National Archives|access-date=22 March 2022}}</ref><br />
