This place has seen a few visits lately it seems, but i thought id chuck my photos up either way. Visted with thooooom and one other non member.

Some history

The college was formed in 1958 as the Foley College of Further Education and College of Art, through the merger of the Stourbridge College of Art (founded in 1848) and the Stourbridge Technical School (founded in 1891). It was renamed Stourbridge College of Technology and Art in 1979, and adopted its current name in 1991. The college became a further education corporation in 1992, after the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. second campus opened in 1990 within the buildings of the former Longlands School, after the school had closed to merge with High Park School to form the Ridgewood High School. Since 2013, Stourbridge College has formed a part of the Birmingham Metropolitan College, following a merger.
