Frankby Parish School, Greasby Road, Greasby

Frankby Parish School was built in 1866 on land donated by Mr J. R. Shaw of Arrowe Hall.  This school building took over from the original school which was located in a barn in Frankby.  It was the parish school of St. John the Divine, Frankby.  The school building was enlarged in 1873.  The photo shown below is believed to have been taken during the 1930s.

The inscribed school stone has been relocated to the churchyard at St. John's.

The school closed in 1952, when the new Mill Lane Junior School opened.  The head of Frankby Parish School, Mrs E. Booth, moved to the new school.

Frankby Parish School buildings deteriorated due to dry rot and the lack of a damp proof course.  They were demolished in 1977.  Great care was taken to protect the inscribed school stone.  The site of the school is now occupied by four houses; numbers 21, 21A, 23, 25 Greasby Road (see below).
