The Liverpool Collegiate School, Shaw Street, was founded in 1840 under the name Liverpool Collegiate Institution, as a day school for boys. The main purpose of the school was to provide the sons of the middle class with a suitable education incorporating a combination of scientific, commercial and religious instruction. At its opening the college was divided into three schools; Upper, Middle and the Lower Schools. In 1884 the Upper School moved to a site on Lodge Lane whilst the others remained at Shaw Street. Eventually, in 1907 the schools formally split when the Middle and Commercial Schools were sold to the city. The Upper School continued as Liverpool College and became a public school, the Middle and Commercial Schools united under the name Liverpool Collegiate School and continued until its closure in 1985. The building has now been converted into apartments.
