Bath College Celebrated 125th Anniversary of Founding

I'm a bit late on noting this anniversary...Bath College in Bath, UK celebrated the 125th anniversary of its founding in 1892 as Bath City Science, Art and Technical Schools.  Three predecessor schools provided a foundation for the  institution: 
  • Bath School of Art and Science, opened in May 1854 as the Bath School of Art
  • Bath Art Night Classes that was in existence by 1878
  • Bath Evening Science School that opened in 1879
Courses were offered through a number of different locations over the years prior to the relocation to Avon Street in 1960.  The name of the institution also changed over time with changes in student populations and mission.  In 1986 it became City of Bath College of Further Education. The name was changed again in 1989 to City of Bath College.  More recently, the college merged with Norton Radstock College to become Bath College.
