Redland Teacher Training College also known as Redland College was a teacher training college that existed in the Redland suburb of Bristol.
The school was opened in 1947 to address a shortage of teachers in post-World War II Britain.[1]
It was one of three teacher training schools - the Church of England’s teacher training centre and St Matthias College being other two - that were merged in 1976 with Bristol Polytechnic. Bristol Polytechnic was later re-named the University of the West of England.[1]
"The main Redland College site was built in 1960s and sat between Redland Hill, Durdham Park, Iddesleigh Road and Redland Road. Other nearby buildings provided additional teaching space and student accommodation. Redland Hill House and the Elm Lane / Malvern House buildings were also used for teaching, while a number of converted domestic buildings and the purpose-built St John-Reade Halls of Residence (at Redland Green) provided student accommodation."[1]
