The site was originally opened in 1904 as a private boarding school for boys known as ‘Terra Nova’. It was taken over by the Central National Registration Office [CNRO] in 1939, and used throughout the Second World War as a Records Office. The school buildings were put up for sale after the war ended, and the Liverpool School for the Deaf moved in. The school was officially opened by the Earl of Derby on Saturday, 11 September, 1948.

The locations itself is one of important local interest as the site is close to the Sefton Coast, the largest sand dune system in the UK at over 2000 hectares. The dunes draw crowds of 500,000 a year due to the wide variety of flaura and fauna including rare species such as the Natterjack Toad, Sand Lizard, the Dune Helleborine Orchid and the Baltic Rush. For a truly unique retirement, 40 Lancaster Road will not disappoint.
