Sale Mechanics' Institute
Sale Mechanics' Institute opened (I think near the current courthouse) in 1862, and the much larger, two-storey building that was later incorporated into the Sale School of mines (later Sale technical School), was built in 1891.
For many years, this is how it has looked to the passing world:
However expansion of the Sale Secondary College Senior Campus has led to the removal of the later, rear section. Despite local concern about the demolition of the rear section, this is how the site looks at present.
I am unsure as to the long-term future of the section still standing.
These photographs were taken 7 April 2005. For anyone wishing to download slightly larger photographs, they are HERE, HERE and HERE. You do sometimes have to click on the larger photos with your cursor for them to go to the full size.
