Liverpool College for Girls

Description

Liverpool College For Girls opened on 29th October, 1878. It was opened by the Right Honourable Countess Of Derby. In 1889 a sale of work raised £600 which funded a lending library. The classrooms were redecorated, the laboratory was fitted with benches and the lecture room with a gallery and table. In 1893 the old gymnasium was made into a cloakroom. Then in 1909 the school hall was fitted out as a gymnasium. The same year, electric lighting was fitted at a cost of £130.19.6. In 1912 one of the top rooms was converted into a kitchen with two large gas ovens. Between 1922-24, extensive improvements were made to the school. In 1940 the junior cloak room was made into an air raid shelter. During the 1970s there were many improvements made to the school. Also at that time, the area surrounding the school changed dramatically with many of the surrounding houses demolished and the University Of Liverpool taking over more of the land adjacent to the school. In 1981, LGC was amalgamated with St. Edmunds College and became Archbishop Blanch School in Sefton Park Road. In 1993 the school moved to its current location in Mount Vernon Road. Early information taken from the LGC Centenary Year Book 1978.
