This is where S F X parish was formed by a meeting of 8 business men. Charlie Chaplin attended the school for a little while,also John Gregson, the old film star. 2 former pupils won the V C in the first world war.
The college always had a prep school in Woolton, so when I left in 1952 they upped sticks and moved the college to Woolton.
Melwood was sold to Liverpool F C in 1952.
Everton F C played at Melwood before Liverpool as there was always a annual match E F C versus the college,followed by a big nosh up. I think this was organised by Jack Sharp.
