I'm tempted to say its The Dell, cas i went to a school down there, it's gone now though, and i'm probably wrong - i'm not the best person at working maps out lol
Thing about lies is... you will finally get caught out, remember that
There was a "New Ferry School" need to check it in directories, no idea if this was it or not.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Thats the Dell shown on that map. New Ferry School was on the main road, left hand side as you travelled from the toll bar towards the rounderbout at the end of the bye pass, there are houses built on the site of the school now. The Dell was an infants school and New Ferry School was a secondary modern school. These terms for schools may not be known to you young ones. meaning born after 1970 or so, us old ones 1940s and 50s are familiar with the names.

Definately not The Dell, that was at the Rock Ferry end of New Ferry Rd.
Wasn't the school on the main road the "New Chester Road School"
Were did "High Schools" fit in, did this just mean secondary school?
I would say in all probability the Dell school would be in the road called The Dell, Rock Ferry end. Can't say why but Mayfields keeps coming to mind, maybe school.
God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children.
Mayfields is the generic name for that area, like Shorefields is for he other end, could well be the school name.

Im sorry to go back on ourselves but heres something on "The Port Sanitary" Hospital,
JURISDICTION OF PORT SANITARY AUTHORITY.HL Deb 11 August 1896 vol 44 c476 476 § The order of the Local Government Board constituting a port sanitary authority shall be deemed to give such authority jurisdiction over all waters within the limits of such port, and also over the whole or such portions of the district within the jurisdiction of any sanitary authority as may be specified in the order.
§ THE EARL OF RANFURLY moved, after Clause 10, to insert the following clause:— The Local Government Board may by order assign to any port sanitary authority any powers, rights, duties, capacities, and obligations under the Infectious Disease Prevention Act, 1890, with the necessary modifications. He said this clause incorporated the English Port Sanitary Bill, passed this Session.
§ Clause read 1a and 2a, and ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Here are some pictures of the Port Sanitary Hospital at New Ferry ...

Somewhere along there, behind the Baths, which were still closed in the late'40s after WW2, I can remember the British Leather Co lorries would dump a foul-smelling white chemical slurry into a banked-in pond at the bottom of the cliff. There was nothing to stop us lads falling down into it and being dissolved, bones and all! Health and Safety didn't exist then! I wonder what's built over that lot now! Bri
