were these nuclear bunkers built when they built the college 1950?
Westminster House is I think where the old market was in the 1970s
Just imagining if sirens went or how much warning there would have been and how to get from Hamilton square area to college in time before bombs dropped or are there other hidden safety places we don't know about

Amazing pictures, they take me back in time!! Thanks for posting.

Fantastic pics Phil, i spent a year at this place 11yrs ago when i was 16, so sad to see it gone so soon after being built, im sure it would of looked great after a refurb! i never knew it had a gym, wish i had explored the place a bit more now. thanks for the pics, they make this site worthwhile.

It was in a sad state. It was probably easier to get money for a new build (12 Quays) than to fix up Borough Road.
Demolition pics coming soon...

" nuclear bunkers built when they built the college 1950?"

The question or thoughts Derek is what other public building (still standing) was built about the same time and was owned by Birkenhead corpy,a building which is big enough to hold a bunker,there is one but the last time I was in the building the blast doors had been removed and it was being used for offices,can't tell you where as it might be still classified as secret.

Principal in 1952-54, and probably from the beginning was C.V.Vinten-Fenton. Certified proof on my ONC!

tec college site was allotments prior to the college been built. Imagine land was made into allotments at the outbreak of the 2nd W.W.

Don't know what was there originally but by the 1940's it was the Plaza car park.
