Gunnerside School for Girls was a private boarding school situated at 31/32 Torrington Place, North Road East, Plymouth.
It was in existence in 1890, when Miss Elizabeth Stranger was in charge. It offered a course of instruction that approximated to that required in secondary schools by the Board of Education.
The School seems to have been transformed after the Second World War in to the Gunnerside Home for Old People. It is not yet known where the name "Gunnerside" came from. (see http://www.plymouthdata.info/Schools-Gunnerside%20Private.htm
