The Old Walker Technical College, Oakengates, built in 1927. A well loved place of learning for many years, it is now closed and awaiting its fate. Developers wish to convert the building into apartments and make changes to the structure; they are in discussion with the local borough council but they seem unable to come to an agreement about the details. With the present economic conditions it appears doubtful that the building can be saved.
