South Devon College and Torbay

This view of and from the balcony on the fourth floor of the McKay Building was taken in early summer. The building no longer exists as the College has moved to Paignton and the site has been turned over to a housing development. In the early years of the building, the College Principal's office was directly behind this window. It was said that the then Principal, Mr Arthur Ebdon, who expanded the College greatly during his years at the College, decided to have the floor raised in his office to enable him to see across Torbay from his seat at his desk, whether this is an apochryphal tale or not, one can understand why anyone might wish to enjoy the splendid view.
