Situated on Ribbleton Hall Drive, this secondary school was home to pupils from all over the Ribbleton area and was rebranded as the City of Preston High School in 2004 before eventually closing its doors in 2010.
The campus was then taken over by Ashton Community Science College, with students aged 14 to 19 who were studying vocational courses and training housed there. Here are our best retro archive pictures from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.

20. In 1989 Lancashire's education committee chairman, Coun Josie Farrington, rolled up her sleeves and started digging to mark the launch of a brand new high school. The special sod-turning ceremony was held to mark the start of work on the new Ribbleton Hall High School - to replace the existing building which was earmarked for closure because of structural problems.
