The Original Wallasey Grammar School
This cottage in Breck Road was erected as Wallasey Grammar school from 1799 replacing the original school set up in St Hilary's Parish Church which had been in existence since 1656. The school was transferred to a new premises in St George's Road in 1864 and from 1873 the school was based in Withens Lane in a building that later became a college of further education. The school moved to Birkett Lane in Leasowe in 1967 and later became known as Wallasey School. This original school building was later converted into a house. Grammar Schools were set up in the 15th century to provide free education to poor children and were generally founded by philanthropists, charitable organisations and guilds.
