HISTORY OF HOPE STREET, B5 The Hope Street is just off Sherlock Street, where Matthew Boulton College was previously located, and has a fascinating history.

Early Industrial Era (18th-19th centuries)
The area around Sherlock Street was once a hub of industrial activity, with numerous factories, workshops, and warehouses. The street itself was named after a local industrialist family, the Sherlocks.

Technical School Era (1895-1960s)
In 1895, the Birmingham Municipal Technical School was built on the Sherlock Street site. The school provided technical education to support the city's growing industries. Over the years, the school expanded and developed, introducing new courses and programs.

Matthew Boulton College Era (1960s-2005)
In 1960, the school was renamed Matthew Boulton College in honor of the 18th-century industrialist and entrepreneur Matthew Boulton. The college continued to grow and develop, becoming a leading provider of further and higher education in the region.

Redevelopment and Demolition (2005-2008)
In 2005, Matthew Boulton College relocated to a new campus on Jennens Road. The old Sherlock Street buildings were demolished in 2008 to make way for a new residential development.

Current Status
Today, the Sherlock Street site is home to a modern residential complex, with apartments and townhouses. While the original college buildings are gone, the site remains an important part of Birmingham's industrial and educational heritage.
