Sheffield Hallam University

We can trace our roots right back to 1843, when the Sheffield School of Design was founded to provide skilled designers to support Britain's industry. In the early days we were a somewhat smaller institution. Lessons were given in the Bath Saloon, a rented room above the baths on Glossop Road, which is now home to a pub. Lessons had an average attendance of 32 people. We later moved into the purpose-built Sheffield School of Art on Arundel Street.
