History
The site at Horsted, which eventually became Mid-Kent College of Further and Higher Education, was built to be a Government Training Centre but was never used as such. The premises became Medway College of Technology when the Gillingham Technical College in Green Street, Gillingham, moved there. This was some time around 1952/1953. The College closed in July and already getting trashed. This college is one of two which closed because a brand new one was built in Rochester. There are approximately 15,000 students aged 16 years and upwards enrolled at the college.
