Dear Roz

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Parkfield College for Ladies, Parkfield House, Perry Vale closed in 1886/7. I am researching the proprietress, Mary Anne Strickland, her students and staff. Adverts declare "european governesses and eminent professors.....two acres of pleasure grounds"

She returned to her home town of York, having sold the school. In 1889 she returned to London and took on an already existing school at a house in Tuffnell Park, near Highgate. We live in that house.

My hope is to find photos or info on the Perry Vale school. It was located on the west side of Perry Vale, and was the last building before the junction with Dacres Road. So I don't think it can be Christchurch School.

Thanks again.

Paul
