Is Hebburn tech still standing?
My last course was 1972 on Modern Maths.

No, it closed in 2011 and a housing estate stands there now.

Here is the view where Hebburn Tech used to be Carol.
What a great College it was.
I learned most of my Engineering apprenticeship at the Tech in the 1960s. Such a shame our young people dont have the opportunity to go there for top class training in various careers.

Can you put a photo on Norman as it will bring back a few memories for many of us. Thank you.

I remember walking from St. Joseph's school to Hebburn Tech twice a week in 1984 for my O-Level Computer Studies class because the College had a computer room equipped with Commodore Pet computers. We thought it was very impressive at the time. Good times!

This web page has some photographs of Hebburn Technical College just before it was demolished. It's an "Urban Exploration" type site and has some interesting photos of abandoned buildings including the Pelaw Shirt Factory.
