hillsbro Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The 1957 Kelly's Directory shows the school as the "Lancasterian Annexe" of the "Sheffield College of Commerce & Technology (Department of Science)", while directories from the 1920s to the 1940s show the "Lancasterian Council Schools". I would imagine that as "council schools" they will have been for children who lived nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic787 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks Hillsbro but I cannot find either school listed in the Archives. My uncle certainly went there for a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Vic787 - I see what you mean, I just visited the Sheffield Archives website and searched on the word "Lancasterian" and it gave this result: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/search-result.html?queryStr=lancasterian This was using the correct spelling, but using the search-word "Lancastrian" gave two more references: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/search-result.html?queryStr=lancastrian But apart referring to obituaries of former headteachers, the downloaded files seem to be concerned with the Beeley Wood Special School, which from 1901 to 1939 was known as the Lancasterian Special School. All the same your visit to the Sheffield Archives (or the Local Studies Library - 1st Floor, Surrey Street) might prove fruitful - anyway good luck!

sweetdexter Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That term 'Lancastarian School" conjures up some image from my distant past of schools for ,(to use today's language ) challenged individuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic787 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks Hillsbro I visited the Archives and found much information out that I needed however there are no records of the Lancastrian School or that of Bowling Green School. Will keep searching and see what turns up regards Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
