When the first edition of The Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1865, Earsdon had a school, pictured here, a post office and three inns: the Phoenix, the Cannon and the Red Lion. A plaque, on the central chimney stack of this building, states the school was built in 1856, whilst a second plaque shows that the building was extended in 1893. The building is now used as a Community Centre. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.northtynesidewalks.co.uk
