About South-East Essex Technical College and School of Art

According to Wikipedia, The South-East Essex Technical University and School of Art was a technical college and school of art based in Longbridge Road, Dagenham, a suburb in east London, formerly in Essex, England. History The Becontree estate was the largest public housing project in the world when it was completed in the mid-1930s. Recognising the need for education but with no responsibility to provide it, the London County Council transferred 24 acres on the western edge of the estate to Essex County Council, who built a technical college and a secondary school on the site. The college opened in 1936, in a building designed by J. Stuart.
