Former education institution in Middlesbrough, England

Kirby College of Further Education, formerly girls-only Kirby Grammar School, is a campus in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough. Founded in 1910 with the benefaction of Alderman Kirby, in its recent history it was part of Middlesbrough College, created via a merger of Kirby and Acklam Sixth Form College. This was further expanded with the inclusion of Teesside Tertiary College in 2002. In summer 2008, the various sites were consolidated onto a single site at Middlehaven.

Current status

After several years of abandonment, the site has now been bought and is currently under redevelopment as The Old College - a set of residential apartments.

The developer, Green Lane Capital, plans to use the building to create 'upmarket' apartments.
