EXTENSION OF THE BLACKPOOL CONVENT —A new wing is about to be added to the Convent of the Holy Child Jesus, Layton Hill, Blackpool. Plans have been prepared by Mr. Councillor R. B.

On the first floor a room some 78 feet long by 31 feet 6 in. wide will be available for school purposes, whilst on the second floor will be a chapel, with sacristy and inner sacristy. The present chapel will be transformed into a sleeping dormitory, and other internal re-arrangements will be made. [Builder 16 December 1893 page 455]
