Cleared for redevelopment
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 11 Aug 2012
Some of Gloucester's students were so appalled by the old college site in Brunswick Road they were moved to riot. Having closed four years previously, the empty eyesore was comprehensively attacked by a mob and partly set alight. Now the site, possibly including the 1941 'Gloscat Tower', is being cleared for what is planned to be a housing development, with retail outlets, offices, restaurants and a surgery.
