Memories of Blackpool's Elmslie Girls School

Elmslie Girls School would have been 102 years old this year.

Our archive pictures show the school throughout the decades, including some of the highlights. There is even a photo of the very first class of girls in 1918.

They had a visit from a rather famous iron lady - Margaret Thatcher in 1970. She was pictured talking to pupils at the school’s speech day, after presenting the prizes.
