Westport House School, Grimsby - mentioned on WDYTYA 2007 - info pls

[PrueM]

Hello folks 

My great-great-grandfather's brother, Arthur, was an assistant schoolmaster at WL Browne's "Westport House" school in Grimsby, in 1871.  In a search of the web I discovered that the Who Do You Think You Are episode featuring John Hurth, in 2007, mentioned that his great-grandfather was the founder and owner of this school - Walter Lord BROWNE.

The episode summaries I found mentioned a prospectus for the school and a photograph of Mr Browne. 

My question is, does anyone know where this prospectus was from?  Was it the local record office?  I would like to track it down and see if I can get a copy of it.

Would appreciate any leads!

Many thanks in advance

Why not ask NE Lincs Archives, for starters?

That page even has a Q & A about school records.

Ah, great!  Thanks pharmakon, I will do that.

Lincolnshire is a completely new area to me, so I appreciate the advice.

Cheers
