Hi John,
The Sheffield Archives is the most likely place to find records of Wesley College – their email (in normal times) is archives@sheffield.gov.uk.
“The Wesleyan Proprietary Grammar School, commonly known as <span class=”HIT”>Wesley </span><span class=”HIT”>College</span> at Sheffield was founded in 1838 and occupied purpose built premises on Glossop Road. It was founded by Rev. Samuel Dousland Waddy (1804 – 1876) to “supply a generally superior and classical education, combined with religious training in the principles of Methodism’. It later became a <span class=”HIT”>college</span> of the University of London. In 1905 it was purchased by Sheffield Council and merged with the city’s Royal Grammar School to form the King Edward VII School.” I attended King Edward VII school in the 1970s.
A Percy Brook organised a Grand Charity Concert at the Surrey Street Music Hall in November 1897, in aid of the Childrens Hospital, with the asistance of Miss Bertha L Longbottom (conductress of the Ladies Mandoline Band). Percy’s capacity was Hon.Secretary.
Cheers,
Edmund
