A house and land at Houghall were purchased from the University of Durham by Durham County Council in 1921 as a centre of agricultural education and experiment in the county. In 1938 a school was established there for the training of students of agriculture.
Houghall Horticultural Station was administered by the Education Department until 1930, by the Agricultural Department from 1931, and by the School of Agriculture from 1949.
The meteorological registers contain the monthly returns to the Meteorological Office, London. They also contain horticultural crop observations from 1925 to July 1932.
