There has been a previous post about Clarendon School at Kinmel Hall, St George. Clarendon was a private school for girls, and so was Lowther College not a million miles away at Bodelwyddan Castle.Lowther College (as shown on the old postcard above) started in 1896 in Lytham St Anne’s, Lancs, and moved to Bodelwyddan Castle in 1920. Eventually the operators of the school bought the building.
Lowther College was one of the first schools to have a swimming pool, and it had a private golf course too. Boys were admitted from the late-1970s onwards but the school closed down in 1982 due to financial difficulties.
The colour photo was taken by Adrian Pingstone in June 2008, by which time the castle was owned by Warner Leisure Group.
