1976 book in good condition and an informative read on the History of Bolton School. Established as Bolton Grammar School and one of the oldest schools in Lancashire possibly formed as early as 1516, it was endowed by Robert Lever in 1644. In 1913 it was re-endowed by Viscount Leverhulme. The current buildings on Chorley New Road were begun in the 1920s though they were not completed until the late 1960s.The Girls\' School was established in 1877 as Bolton Girls\' Day School and was quickly renamed to Bolton High School for Girls, moving to the Park Road site in 1891 with 67 girls. The new building was \'the last word in school design and was rapturously appreciated\' when opened by the suffragist Mrs Henry Fawcett.In 1913 the Girls\' Day School amalgamated with Bolton Grammar School and the Bolton School Foundation was formed.
