Ranxborough House School for Girls was at 25, Park Street,
Lytham, next to the Wesleyan Curch (hidden by trees on this photograph from
1905).
Ranxborough House School for Girls was probably founded in the 1870s by Miss Jane
Isabella Stokes. In the 1880s it was at 25, Park Street, Lytham. By the 1930s this
building housed the Preston Convalescent Home for Poor Children.
There was another school, Ellerslie House, existing in the 1890s
at 14, East Beach, Lytham which was owned by a Miss Jane Stokes but this is not the
same lady.
