That would be the college that about 8 years ago they built the new,

In parallel with that I can report that the old Met Office College at
Shinfield has recently been flattened by the bulldozers to make way
for housing. In addition the road on the southern side of the College
site has now been bypassed by a new roundabout complex. Anyone who
buys those houses is going to need ear defenders, even with the change
of nearby roads it is still a very noisy site as I remember from my
five years there as an Instructor.


... yes Dave: I remember that it was always a bonus to be on the 'Lodge'
side of North House - less noise!

And going back even further, it's not all that many years ago that the
old Met Office Training School buildings at Stanmore were demolished and
replaced with housing.
