Blackpool Collegiate School for Girls
Welcome!
Dr Joan Wilkinson wrote a booklet describing the history of the Collegiate Girls school in Blackpool, from its origins up to the merger with the boys' school in 1971. This booklet is now out of print, but there is a scanned copy available on this website.
The links below take you to scans of the text of Joan's booklet: "Blackpool Collegiate School For Girls 1925 - 1971".
The scans are in PDF format, not converted by OCR, which means they are in the form of images.
If you wanted a copy in Word document format you'd need to convert the PDF documents here to a character-based PDF document and then convert that PDF document to a Word document format.
If you wish to read them online, simply click on the links below - the chapters of the booklet are reproduced in order from Collegiate-A... to Collegiate-F...
