A FAMILIAR landmark on the Kidderminster skyline will soon disappear when the town's college makes way for a new housing development.
Students spent their final day at the old premises in Hoo Road on Friday and will make their way to the new £9 million college in the centre of the town when they return from the Easter break on May 6. The familiar college building which is set to be demolished.
The doomed building, which will be flattened to make way for 76 new homes, is the distinctive white block on the horizon in the picture below taken from the top of the historic boiler house in the canalside Weavers Wharf shops development in the town centre.
The picture also includes the new college building, Tesco and car park, the controversial Piano Building and the roof of Slingfield Mill.
The same vantage point was used to capture an aerial shot of the swathes of steel girders soon to be clad in bricks to create the key units for the Weavers' Wharf scheme. The steel structure of Weavers Wharf starts to take shape next to the newly listed Piano Building. On the skyline is the college building.
Before the demolition of the old college building, Shuttle/Times and News photographer Debbie Thomson climbed to the top floor to take the aerial views right looking towards the town centre.
