From an engraving in the LtverpooI Free Public Library.
MANY Liverpool men are proud of claiming this school as their Alma Mater. The foundation grew out of the old Mechanics' Institute, which, commencing in School Lane, was removed to rooms in the Union News Rooms, Slater Street, where classes were formed. Afterwards land was purchased in Mount Street, and the foundation stone of the new building was laid by Lord Brougham, on July 20, 1835. The education given was entirely secular, the teaching was good, and the fees as low as it was possible to make them with due regard to the cost. In May 1905 the Liverpool Corporation took over the management and responsibilities of the institution, and since that date it has been one of the Corporation Secondary Schools
