BROOK STREET 1853—1900. The Brook Street house was near the Holy Name and served by the Jesuits. The nuns started there a secondary school for girls. There were two classrooms on the ground floor and one upstairs opposite the little chapel. In a long narrow room, probably the old coach house, was the preparatory school.
A new preparatory school was built too. 520 girls joined the new £250,000 school in Didsbury, with grounds of 16 acres. By 1973 there were around 720 girls. [1] The school had an excellent academic reputation.
