[edit] Where the school started

Can anyone advise on the original location of Slough Tech/Herschel? My personal understanding (as previously shown in the article) was that Slough Tech was set up in the old Slough Secondary School buildings in William Street, sometime after Slough Grammar and Slough High had vacated the site for Lascelles Road and Twinches Lane.

However, 'The Changing Face of Slough' (page 84, Slough Museum / Breedon Books 2003) claims that Slough Tech was a direct development from Tonman Mosley school, also in William Street. This would imply that Tonman Mosley had a senior section - the same book credits it with an infants department (p95) which subsequently moved to become James Elliman.

For the moment, I've simplified the history to undisputed fact (that Slough Tech started in William Street) but more precision would be nice.

after discussion with user:Icairns (see his talk page) it looks as if there is further support for Slough Tech starting in the old Slough Sec buildings, so I've reintroduced this information. Grblundell 19:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assess

A good start article. With some expansion (more on the history, pics, alumni, etc) and more references you could be a B. Dahliarose 14:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
