Thanks to @jtza as Iv un mercilessly nicked the history for this one.


Built in 1909 as a secondary school, the Greek Street Annexe later became a Girls' Grammar School and finally an annexe of Stockport College. The Grade II listing describes it as "Council secondary school, by Cheers & Smith of Blackburn and Twickenham, consisting of Red brick, stone dressings and banding, terracotta mouldings, Westmoorland graduated slate roofs, red terracotta ridge tiles. Tall brick stacks. Cast-iron railings."
In 1970 the school merged with the Technical School, situated to its immediate east, which subsequently became Stockport College of Further and Higher Education. The two buildings are linked by a modern corridor.

Rather lovely place this which Im surprised hasn't had more attention over the years. Was a fun explore too, doing our usual rocking up in middle of day as "we were passing" & scrambling about on roofs much to the amusement of people at the bus stop!

The hilarities continued in here when we realised there was a young lad in one of the upper rooms smoking a spliff, so my mate couldn't resist pretending to be secca.
Funny thing was after we told him we were just explorers, he still asked "do u want me to leave the building" :rofl

Thanks For looking!
 
Yes, structurally sound, and quite capable of re-use. What is the bland modernist building in the black and white photo? Is it the Technical School?
Yh thats the main frontage of the modern monstrosity that is part of this school
