Summary
[edit]DescriptionOmagh Technical College - geograph.org.uk - 1707803.jpg |
English: Omagh Technical College. Located along Mountjoy Road, it was demolished about 2004 and was replaced with South-West College - see 78236.
On the roof were mobile phone masts, nobody thought that the radiation was harmful then, especially where there was younger people. Note also the flagpole at the front, it was the policy of the former Tyrone County Education to fly the union flag on dates of royal birthdays, etc when they were in control of the Technical schools. This practice is still carried out at Controlled Schools. Prior to the "Tech", the Old Model Primary School was on this site. It opened its doors on 8th Nov, 1859. It was erected by the Commissioners for National Education. As in common with the National Schools, it catered for pupils of all religions in its early years. Previous headmasters were Mr Alexander Greer to 1863, Mr S A Ferguson (known as Fisty), Mr James Mulholland retired in 1915, Mr Mr R T Newell, B.A., M.B.E., J.P. (an Omagh man and a former pupil, was Headmaster for over 40 years). The last Headmaster was Mr Norman McClure, M.A known as "Baldy McClure", I don't know for why because he had a thick mop of white wavy hair. I remember that some of the older disruptive pupils stayed at school until their early teens and got to the stage when they towered over Mr McClure and when it came to administrating the cane (and it was frequent), Baldy had to call on Marcus Pigott, the Vice Principal who was a "hard nut" - see this photo which was in one of Dr Haldane Mitchell's "Images of Omagh" books http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/gpEjLiGfMu4vFg-gsg4Lpg?feat=directlink. |
