Thurso, Castle Street, Thurso Technical College Annexe

School (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Thurso Technical College Annexe stands on Castle Street, a practical school building where young people learned skills rather than theory. The annexe label suggests it joined a larger college, giving Thurso extra classroom space when demand grew. Castle Street has long carried the town's civic life, so a school there placed learning beside markets, offices and public buildings. Whether it taught engineering, drawing or clerical work, its purpose was simple: to make knowledge useful before it left the classroom.
