Blue Coat School 1871 census

[taffy]

Sorry but, why is more important this school in Liverpool?

The Bluecoat school was important as it provided a home and education for children from destitute families where usually at least one parent had died. The original Bluecoat school is in the centre of Liverpool in School Lane. It moved to Wavertree around the turn of the 20th C.
