West Midlands College of Education, Walsall 1970
I have this labelled as the K and L residential blocks, so I must have been looking south-west from within the "quadrangle". The college was built circa 1963. Much of it has been demolished (2006-2008). With a lot of new buildings, the site now functions as a sports centre, aping the Americans by being referred to as the Walsall Campus of the University of Wolverhampton
The image has been scanned from an Agfa Gevaert monochrome transparency dated February 1970.

The Old Windmill at Highgate, Walsall
This old mill was built in the early 19th century. Its sails have long gone and the top of it has been altered as can be seen. It was once used as an amateur astronomical observatory and during the last war was manned every night by local air raid wardens as it was the highest point in the area. It can be seen from the top of Highgate Road which used to be called Windmill Lane. The area is generally known as 'The Windmill'.

Highgate Windmill, Walsall
A long derelict tower mill that is largely obscured by trees from any direction.
It took a good long time to find this and the locals we asked were largely clueless. Eventually it was a case of spotting it by looking in a direction we didn't expect to see it in when we were on the point of throwing in the towel.

Teaching Block at the former West Midlands College of Higher Education
Constructed in 1964, this unique building formed the centrepiece of the West Midlands Teacher Training College which is now part of the University of Wolverhampton. Until recently it was surrounded by halls of residence which were demolished two years ago. This is scheduled for demolition in 2008

Demolition of a landmark building
Sadly a unique piece of architecture disappears because no-one cares. The demolition crew said they had never come across a building as strong as this one

The remnants of the teaching block
As this building is finally demolished, the grid square will need to be re-drawn as the student accommodation and teaching block no longer exist.
