Today the former college building has now been refurbished and sub-divided into a multi-use facility, combining homes, offices and meeting rooms.

Hit by a Luftwaffe bomb during World War II, the school closed in 1941 and never reopened.

[10] The Collegians went further in 1879–80, reaching the final, beating Stoke in the third round, in a tie delayed to allow the students to return to college after a mid-term break.

[11] In the semi-finals the club lost 3–0 to Derby at the Aston Lower Grounds,[12] but a protest was made that one of the Derby players was "cup-tied", having already played for Wednesbury Strollers in the Sheffield Challenge Cup, against the rules of the competition which barred any player from representing more than one side in competitive matches.

[19] The College was considered a nursery of footballing talent, relying strictly on "science" and avoiding charging,[20] with players such as Thomas Slaney of Stoke City, John Brodie, George Copley, Tom Bryan (later of Wednesbury Strollers and Aston Villa), and champion sprinter Charles Johnstone all went through the College.
