GRIMSBY SCHOOL OF ART
Grimsby School of Art can be traced back to its roots in 1886. A local newspaper announced that an Art Class would commence, on October 29th, 1886 in the town. The class was originally taught by a lady teacher from nearby Hull Art School and any qualifying students were awarded certificates by the South Kensington Department of Science & Art now the Royal College of Art. An enlarged School of Art was opened in Silver Street in 1898 which incorporated Brewery Street Art Class. The 1944 Education Act saw the merger of the Municipal School of Art & Crafts with two other education establishments, the Nautical School and the Technical College renamed Grimsby College of Further Education. Following several name changes since 2004 was known as the Grimsby Institute. Staff and alumni included Arthur Cecil Wade (1896-1983), Principal, 1944-1953, Carole Kemp, John Patchett, Phyllis May Roper, Peter William Todd (1921-2005), Nicholas Andrew Volley (1950-2006), and Pip Todd Warmoth (1962-).
