Notes

Daisy St

Daisy St, Kirkdale

1882

The School Board passed a motion to build the school in January 1881. Listed in Kelly's 1894 Directory. Near Netherfield Rd, there was also an extension in Fountains Rd.  Ken ROBERTS attended this school; he recalls that it had a separate Catholic section, with separate staff, Headteacher and even playground.  Amalgamated with Fonthill Rd in 1978.

Daulby, Misses

Shiel Park

In March, 1826, the Misses DAULBY kept a Ladies’ School in a large white house in the corner of Shiel Park.  This is listed in ‘Streets of Liverpool’ (first published 1869), but I have so far found no other reference to it!  DAULBYs living in Chatham St ran a Ladies’ School - wonder if this was it, rather than the actual house?

De la Salle Catholic Boys' School

Carr Lane East

1954

This school was run by the Christian Brothers; it amalgamated with other schools (St Philomena’s Boys, St Matthew’s Boys, St Swithin’s Boys and St Teresa’s Boys) in 1983. Brother ALBAN was head in the 1970s

Dog and Gun Infants’ School

Dove St

Dove St

1863

Originally part of St Clement’s, this new single-storey school building (the infants' department) of 1863 was actually an extension built adjacent to the original building.  The Juniors was closed in 1934, but the infants' department survived to become an annexe to Tiber St County Primary, which was just round the corner.  It became an Infants’ School s own right in 1970, but closed in 1997, when pupils transferred to Tiber St.  Thanks to Ken ROBERTS for his meticulous research.
