Now student accommodation. This always reminded me of a Tom Brown's schooldays type boarding school so as an 11+ probability for me - I purposely failed -honest. St. Gregory's, Prince Edwin Street seemed much more civil and welcoming.

Nice photo Ged. Interestingly, the collegiate was never a boarding school . It was built in the early 1840s and attempted to provide education to three levels of ability. Hence the name collegiate. It was essentially three schools in one( lower, middle and upper) It was designed by the same chap who designed St George's Hall. The school was sold to the Liverpool Corporation around the end of the 19th C when the Upper school of what is now Liverpool College moved to Lodge Lane, Toxteth.

National schools were set up to teach children in the ethos of the Church of England

Another view of my primary, Bishop Goss school as seen from Grosvenor Street. The gate to the left is where we entered, the newer building to the right was the assembly and dinner hall built in the late 60s whilst I was attending there. The grassed area once housed the New Adelphi cinema (which moved from nearby Christian Street), the new one was bombed during the war.




St. Gregory's school, Prince Edwin Street. There were shields in the entrance hall that represented the house names of each of the 4 classes in each year. Aiden, Augustine, Bede and Columba. It later became Campion High school when they moved down from Shaw Street, Steve McManaman went here but after my time.

Front view.




Side view from near China Street playground.




This used to be the infants school and the senior school to Bishop Goss (also known as St. Joseph's (or St. Joeys). The front of the junior school can be seen to the right. Prior to the building of St. Gregorys school on Prince Edwin Street, this is where you'd automatically go after the age of 11. When St. Gregs opened, it only admitted boys at first and the girls aged 11+ still went here until they too were accepted into St. Gregs in the early 1970s.

I know its not of the building but if anyone knows of anyone who was there at the time of the filming then I have some real good footage.

I just found out the following...
Paul Macca spent most of his early school years here. In 1953 he sat, and passed, his 11 plus exam which led to his place at the Liverpool Institute. Paul's brother, Michael, also attended Joseph Williams and later followed Paul to the Institute.
The above photos are from that school.

Yes, it's on my Beatles Tour. They had to leave the one in Speke (Stocktonwood Road) as at that time it was the most over populated school in England apparently and a lot of kids were shipped out)

Fascinating.
I wish I could find some of the people who are on this as there is loads of good footage.
