I do not know what it was called at this time (suspect the building school) but was known as the Portsmouth Technical High School during my attendance between 1966-73.

Note the steam train top left hand corner heading into Portsmouth. Open space behind is Portsmouth Airport.

Prefabs in the foreground survived until early 1960's; 700 built across the city.
