Yes , you are correct...I think the road the school was was on Edwards Rd. i got my ONC there Grahame Good friend was David Lamb who was a RAF cadet and worked for Dunlop as a draughtsman.
 
There was a Fire station at the corner of Mason and Edwards, right next door to the college another bit of silly input ..the secretary to the school principle was a lady called Jenny Grout...the reason i know this is because she married my uncle Bill Parsons much later.
