Liverpool Girls' College Est.1856 Closed 1981

Liverpool Girls' College Est.1856 Closed 1981 Liverpool College for Girls 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.

Sue Barton (Woosley), Liz Barker, Yvonne Tetlow, Christine Welsby, Judie Ko, Bernadette Clegg and Julia Balmer are trying to arrange a get together- they would like to open this up to all of their classmates. If you would like to get in touch with them ..via here or directly they can then plan date venue and format for this gathering which would be dependent on numbers.
