TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.
The Technical Institute was opened on Saturday, September 28th,
by County Alderman Colonel Bowles. It had been erected on the site of
the old Latymer School in Church Street, and so far as possible a
portion of the fabric was incorporated in the new building. The
contract price was £6,040. The plans were prepared by, and the building
was erected under the supervision of, Mr. H. G. Crothall, Architect of the
Middlesex County Council. Provision for extension of the building, when
necessary, has been made. The stone came from Monk's Park, the slates
from Llandilo, but the bricks were of local make. The heating is by low
pressure hot-water system, and the lighting by electricity. The present
accommodation consists on the ground floor of 3 workshops, 2 classrooms,
one lecture room, Secretary's room and sanitary conveniences and cloakrooms,
and on the first floor of two lecture rooms, an art room and a
domestic-subjects room with cooking apparatus. The floors and staircases
throughout are of fire-proof construction.
THE SECONDARY SCHOOL.
The original school in Church Street was founded in 1642, by Edward
Latymer, and formed part of the "Latymer Foundation," which was
administered by a body of trustees, and has an income of about £1,000
