Visited with The Stig and H1971. Fantastic day and also bumped into Sammydoublewhammy and his mates. When looking at others reports, it seems we have missed some of the building, but there was loads to take in.
Leeds Girls High School was founded in 1876, at a time when female education was limited but expanding. Frances Lupton and other members of the Ladies’ Honorary Council of the Yorkshire Board of Education decided that campaigning for access to the universities was of little use without better all-round education for girls, equivalent to what boys received at traditional academic grammar school.
In 2005 Leeds Girls High School merged with Leeds Grammar School to form the Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL). The merged school administration took over Leeds Girls High School in August 2005, however the schools did not physically merge until September 2008.
The school building was used as a filming location for the fictional St Matthews' Hospital in the new ITV medical drama Monroe in 2011/2012.
