Abstract:		 An archaeological building investigation was carried out of the former Elmslie School, 194 Whitegate Drive, Blackpool (SD 32184 35278) by Oxford Archaeology North (OA North), prior to redevelopment for residential use by Carrington Design. The building is Grade II listed and comprises a large and ornate house dated to 1895. It became a private school in 1922, and remained as such until the 1990s. A RCHME Level III-type investigation was undertaken by OA North in April 2004, and was accompanied by a low-level desk-based assessment intended to provide background information about the building, which would help elucidate its origins, uses and changes over time. The building investigation identified a number of alterations relating to the use of the building as a school in 1922. Most of these were relatively minor and consisted of cosmetic modifications and alterations to the layout of individual rooms, rather than significant structural changes. The building still retains many of its original features, including the ornately decorated ceilings, staircase and main fireplace, although other features, such as more minor fireplaces, have been damaged. The division of the house between the owners and the servants is also particularly notable; demonstrating to some extent the social stratification that existed at the time when the house was first built.
