HAMMERSMITH COLLEGE OF ART
Hammersmith College of Art and Building was founded in 1891 at Brook Green by Francis Hawke, with the establishment of a few evening classes to prepare students for science and art certificates. In 1904 the school was taken over by London County Council and a new building erected at Lime Grove, which opened with an extended curriculum in 1908. A trade school for girls was erected on the same site in 1914. From the beginning, the College had a tradition of training and education in art associated with the building and craft profession. A new building was opened in 1930. Hammersmith College merged with Chelsea College of Art & Design in 1975. In January 2002, Ealing School of Art, Hammersmith and West London College is formed by the merger of Ealing Tertiary College and Hammersmith & West London College and in 2017 Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College acquires the name West London College from Heriot-Watt University. Suffolk artists who were tutors at the Hammersmith Group include Peter Fraser Davis, Keith Godwin, Frederick Gray, John Penn and Claude Rogers and those that studied there include Caroline Gold, Susie Joyce, George William Miller, Evan Robert Garrood Newbery and William Powell Wilkins.
