Postcard of The Technical College, Kilmarnock
Postcard of The Technical College,
Kilmarnock. Postcards were a far more common method of
communication then than now, with people from Glasgow, for
instance, sending postcards home to show that they had arrived
safely in far off and exotic destinations such as Kilmarnock or
Ayr! In the late 19th and early twentieth centuries, it was
rare for people to own cameras and so stationers up and down the
country sold postcards of everything from local landmarks, small
villages, and industrial town.
The Technical College was part of the Kilmarnock Academy
campus that opened in 1910, around 35 years after the original
Kilmarnock Academy was built. It was situated across from The Dick
Institute on Dick Road/Elmbank Drive, not far from the Academy on
Braeside St.
