Thanks for this Marged. It was still standing in all its Victoria splendour as I passed it each day as I walked from home (Martensen Street) down to the Liverpool Institute. I left school December 1947 but it was still there years afterwards.

I always knew that there was a Girls Reform School in that area Bill but didn't quite know which building it was! Marged Thanks for this Marged. It was still standing in all its Victoria splendour as I passed it each day as I walked from home (Martensen Street) down to the Liverpool Institute.
