1967 – 70. Scrivens and president block. Did the full 40 years in Secondary and Middle Schools and as a Headteacher for 25 years . retired 8 years ago and still look back on Shoreditch as a very happy time. i followed its demise with sadness visiting the site occasionally and regret the loss of a great skills centre needed now more than ever.

It good to see that this fine campus is being preserved

I attended Shoreditch from 1973 to 1974 as a Commonwealth student. My hall of residence was Reed Hall. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and learning the skills. I still have the projects

I was in `74 year and was an inhabitant of Marshall Hall for two years. Like most of my peers I was an extremely hardworking and sensible student and would never have been involved in activities such as throwing water about at the end of term or placing stars on tall fir trees at Christmas!
`Ditch was a marvellous place because of the character and comradeship of those who studied there. It’s spirit will always live on.

1985 Brunel student. Great to see this website.

Just “stumbled” on this site. Excellent idea, Sir!
Very, very sad to see the demise of “The Ditch”.

1980 year, lived in Marshall and Bradley Halls. Nice site!

Attended 1981-85. I visited a few years ago when I visited from New Zealand, where I now live. Very sad to find the place boarded up. Great to find this site and see some news. Are the old buildings still standing. I had a great couple of years in College Hall!! I may be back in the Uk next year and pay another visit.
