TQ1731 : Former art college
near to Horsham, West Sussex, Great Britain

Former art college
I believe that this was the home of "Horsham art class" from 1918 to 1930 when it was renamed "Horsham Art School". In 1956 it became a branch of the West Sussex college of art and crafts. In 1986 it became part of the Northbrook College. In 2005 the college was closed and its function moved twenty miles away to Worthing as part of an 'ongoing review of cost effectiveness and course duplication'. What the bean-counters chose to overlook is that there was no 'course duplication' for the local students as the paucity of de-regulated rural public transport combined with extortionate fares made the non-duplicated courses inaccessible. Although I would have to concede that not providing an education in art to 60 students and selling the site to a property developer was pretty cost-effective.
