Belfast Municipal Technical Institute: College by day, War Factory by Night

World War One At Home

Available for over a year

Known locally as 鈥楾he Black Man Tech鈥�, this college of technology was a state of the art facility for students in the early Twentieth Century. When the war started it was the perfect place for war work, from making hand grenades to testing aircraft linen. All could be done at night as the college had its own electric generator. Location: College Square East, Belfast. BT1 6DD Image: A visit to the college bakery by Sir Edward Carson in 1918 Image courtesy of Henry Bell
