The James Watt College buildings
Located in Great Barr, the James Watt is one of 5 further educational sites operated by the 'BMet' colleges group. The name suggests it is or was born out of the Birmingham Metropolitan Council, but there's little to give clear credence to that theory on their website. The other big colleges are in the centre of Brum (Matthew Boulton), Sutton Coldfield, Stourbridge and Kidderminster, with a smaller site in the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
