The Liverpool Collegiate Institution is a former school in Liverpool, England. See also Liverpool Collegiate School. It opened its doors to pupils on 6 January 1843. The Institution was a day school for boys, sons of middle class Liverpudlians, and aimed to provide them with a suitable education encompassing instruction in the sciences, commerce and religion. The second verse of the school song (in Latin) began ''Intellect spurs us on, manliness inspires us''. Its impressive red sandstone building was designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes in neo-Gothic style, and has been nominated as one of the Icons of England. The school is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II * listed building. The Upper School of the Collegiate Institution became Liverpool College and moved to Lodge Lane in 1884. The remainder of the Institution was taken into local authority control in 1907 and became Liverpool Collegiate School. In 1985 the school underwent an amalgamation with Breckfield community comprehensive school, where it was wound down year on year, until in 1987, there was only one year of pupils left in occupancy. On the morning of June 12th 1987 the last pupil, one Richard John Bradshaw, left the building, followed by the care taker. The main front doors were then locked behind the duo and the building ceased to exist as a functioning school. The building has now been renovated, after a long period of dereliction, into a series of luxury apartments by Urban Splash, an award winning urban regeneration enterprise. Notable former pupils include the architect and journalist Henry Heathcote Statham, scientist Cyril Bibby; Bibby's brother-in-law Len Carney; the geographer Charles William Wilson; actors and comedians Leonard Rossiter, Ted Ray, Philip Fox, and Sam Kelly, Ivan Beavis Coronation Street Actor and Clive Hornsby of "Emmerdale"; Everton footballer Brian Labone, Newcastle star of the 50s George Hannah;the Olympic Athlete Tom Farrall singer Holly Johnson; musician Pete Best;Bob Smith - lead dancer ballet Rambert; and record producer Michael Nicholson; Cabinet Minister Reggie Bevins; microbiologist Alfred Theodore MacConkey. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liverpool Collegiate Institution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
