Old Liverpool School Buildings

[bobbymac]

Hi M8, do you have one of Roscoe

Garsefield Rd? I believe it's now an old folks home. It's near Broadway.

If anyone has a picture of Gateacre village church school I would appreciate it. I don't think it is

used as a school anymore.

Is this it?
I did a Google search for gateacre school (2 separate words).
I don't know Gateacre - I don't think they'd let

me in!

That's St Stephen's Court, Halewood Road, formerly Gateacre Church of

England School.

There's also the

old Pleasant Street Board School behind Mount Pleasant, which is currently being converted into

flats...

I've always wanted to get inside that Snappel, apparently, the new school opposite are trying to salvage the original sign for their new building which

would be nice.

Do u know what has happened to paperwork etc? It's Liverpool's oldest school building isn't it?

[snappel]

When I went there, the only paperwork were some soggy textbooks in the yard, which I assume the builders binned. I didn't see anything there

were salvaging. It was night time when I actually went inside, and it was a bit bare and stripped out, nothing much of interest there.

I was hoping

the sign would stay on the building after renovation as it would give it a bit of character. But if it's being taken down I hope it gets saved - would be

criminal to destroy it.

Thanks for the school pic. that was my first school.
Kev. The oldest

school building in Liverpool is in School lane Woolton, it juts out into the road, it is a tiny building and was closed up for years, it must be famous

because I had tourists ask me about it when I was on the cabs.
I don't know if anything has been done with it in the 25 years since I left, it would be a

shame if it was wasted,probably one of the few remaining examples of a one room school.

Pleasant Street School opened in 1819

and is the oldest in the City Centre.
It's listed, and I assume the name is part of the criteria (but I could be wrong).
Anyway, the building

wouldn't look right without it.

It's a private day nursery now (for

pre-school children)

Hi there, I was brought up overlooking the old school in School lane, for many years it was used by the council as a potting shed used for caring for the Rose Gardens in Woolton Woods, if anyone remembers there was a Cookoo Clock and small Fish Pond with Fountain in the middle.
After the councils use finnished it was converted and used as a private house for several years.
There had been many crashes into the stucture of the building over the years, (some unfortunatly fatal), I even crashed my motorbike into it more than once usualy avoiding cars as the road narrows at thet point and is also on a bend.
I have just been listening to the children playing in the gardens of the old school, its good to know it still has its uses

I went to St Silas School ! they knocked down the old building, then I went to Liverpool Girls College on Grove Street and blow me that gets pulled down too ! such a shame as they where unusual especially Liverpool College it always reminded me of the Adams family house !!
