Former Bankhill Girls' Institute, Stanley Road, Liverpool
A lively example of Victorian paternalism or civic responsibility. "A project to assist working-class girls", complementing the slightly earlier Gordon Working Lads' Institute up the road. The style is loosely Jacobean. The upper pilasters (ish) are hanging with fruit and flowers, and above is a pierced parapet. The date in the gable is 1889.
It appeared to be occupied by Rydal Gym, offering "boxing for all". If we skate over the loaded phrase "working class", this is probably some distance from the Victorians' notion of assistance. It stands somewhat marooned amid scattered low-rise sheds, low-rise housing estates and patches of empty land.
