Goldsmith's College : a centenary account Goldsmiths' College occupies the site of a distiller's house built in 1789 in New Cross. Educational activities have been carried on there since 1792. The premises were later used for a private school to the Royal Naval School in 1843. When the School moved to Eltham in 1889 the buildings were acquired by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. Between 1891 and 1905 the Company maintained a Technical and Recreative Institute. The buildings were presented to the University of London in 1904; Goldsmiths' College has been part of the University ever since. Known as a teacher training college, it also maintained a School of Art and an Evening Department. From about 1960 the range of activities expanded until in 1988 it was admitted as a full School of the University of London. This book was published as part of Goldsmiths' centenary celebrations in 1991 and tells the story of its development over the years. There are numerous black and white photographs, and an index of persons. Appendix B lists the Wardens of Goldsmiths' College from 1905. 1991 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 378.4(421)
