I have a opy of Walter Scottt's "The Talisan" that belonged to my late aunt and it is inscribed with her name and
"Examination Prize. 2nd Class,
Glendair. Ilkley
Christmas 1890".
She was 15 in 1890.
Does anyone know anything about this school please?
Thank you,
charlotte

I think this is the school. Seems like it had a small start:
1881 look for:

Maureen, thank you- sorry for the slow response but I've been offline for a couple of days.
After posting the query I learned that the school was a "very high class school" to quote the g. book and it was purpose built for a Miss Whitaker in 1880, which fits well with your census info.
I assume it was a day school.
The address in Bolton Bridghe Rd will enable me to check it out against Edith Hargreaves parents house in Westville Rd, Ilkley and see how close they were.
Thank you again,
charlotte

Both roads are still there Charlotte, nobut a stones throw apart.
You should get a birds eye view on maps.live.com
Bolton Bridge Road is part of the B6382 running South from the A65 as it goes through Ilkley

Hi Charlotte
Today I dragged the ever suffering other half and our granddaughter on a walk up Bolton Bridge Road. There is a house on the corner of B B rd and Regent Road that has 2 round features high on the front wall, I think they may be called Roundels, anyway the pictures on each of them are of a lady and two children, quite possibly teacher and pupils.
Perhaps a letter to Ilkley tourist info or Ilkley Library might get more information.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for that info... so Edith Hargreaves- and her two sisters- could have walked from "Sunnybank" Westville Rd to BB Rd to school.
Thank you OH for accompanying you as you sought info for me  Yyou're a lucky lad to live in Ilkley.
I had thought I might ask the Ilkley Library and their Local Studies unit about the school. Something else that has me curious, and it's the sort of thing the library probably knows- is who the architect of Glendair was. The google book said Glendair was purpose built in 1880 and that was when my architcect grandfather, Charles Henry Hargreaves, was living in Ilkley and specialising in school design. He won the competition to redesign Ilkley Grammar up the hill and that was in the late 1880s I think.
thanks again Dave..

Hi Charlotte,
If we were that close I would have called at the library myself. No we live a train ride away and that was an adventure for our 3 year old granddaughter + there is a nice park on the riverside - near to what I assume is Bolton Bridge, at least the road alongside the river leads, eventually, to Bolton Abbey.
The building I mentioned is a very large end terrace and did not look like a purpose built school.

Dave,
You're still lucky in my terms being only a train ride away and not a 22 hr plane ride away, as I am 
and lovely Bolton Abbey accessible.. dream on me. My father's family used to go there by a charabanc for picnics.
