John came across this web site for the Pitfield Micro Brewery & Shop in Pitfield Street. He thought it might perhaps be a fun link to include in the site for the few who remember the Pitfield Street building; they'd have really loved having a place like that nearby ...

Easthampstead Park College
"In 1958-60 it was a Teachers' Training College (for the ladies)! — I married one of their students.  Many dances were attended there by Shoreditch lads — often travelling in the college 'bus' — a 1930s Post Office Van. This site should lead automatically to a picture of Easthampstead Park College and a summary of its history." (courtesy Maurice Hann)

Brunel University Library - Shoreditch College Archives   
"The archives <...> also include College minutes, files, and photographs, plus memorabilia such as:  blazers, a flag and a sweatshirt. The Shoreditch College Archives may be consulted by appointment."
