From the Wikipedia article
South Tyneside College is a large further education college in South Tyneside in North East England. Its main site is in the town of South Shields. The college offers part-time and full-time courses for young students and adults. It was formed in 1984 by the merger of Hebburn Technical College and the Marine and Technical College, the latter founded in 1861 by a trust created by Dr Thomas Winterbottom, a former surgeon-general in Sierra Leone. The Marine and Technical College, now known as South Shields Marine School, shares a campus with South Tyneside College and is one of the largest merchant navy training colleges in the United Kingdom, attracting students from as far afield as India and Africa. It offers courses in merchant navy training and marine education, including navigation, marine engineering, and electro-technical officer specifications.
