Origins

On 11 September 1828, Prestonian Joseph Livesey set up a meeting "in favour of the Establishment of an Institution in Preston". The meeting was held at 19:30 in "Mr. Smith's Large Room, No. 11, Cannon-street, (over Mr. Templeton's School,)". This encounter led to a further meeting at the town's corn exchange (now the Assembly bar) on Lune Street on 7 October in the same year. is the 254th day of the year (255th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Corn Exchange may mean: The Corn Exchange, Maidstone. ... is the 280th day of the year (281st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...


History

The Institution for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was founded in 1828 by Joseph Livesey's Temperance Society. The society was born from a pledge made by seven Preston workingmen (whose names can be seen on a plaque in the university library) to never again consume alcohol.


The Institute was housed in a classical-revivalist building on Cannon Street, before eventually expanding under the endowment of a local lawyer, Edmund Robert Harris, who died in 1877.


The expansion brought with it several new buildings as part of the expansion and houses in the nearby Regent Street were purchased and demolished as a consequence. The institute became a centre of excellence for the Arts and Sciences.


As part of Queen Victoria's Jubilee celebrations in 1899, the trustees paid for the Harris Technical College (now known as the Harris Building) to be built on Corporation Street. Its goal was to provide local youths with a technical education in all areas. The building was modern at the time and was powered entirely by electricity. Queen Victoria redirects here. ...


The institute existed in this state until 1932 when it changed again to become the Harris Art College. It underwent further expansion and in 1952 became the Harris College. In 1970 this became Preston Polytechnic, changing its name to Lancashire Polytechnic in 1984


In 1992, Lancashire Polytechnic was awarded University status and has undergone continuous improvement and development since, bearing the name University of Central Lancashire. Central Lancashire was a designated new town in England. ...


Given that Preston has since achieved city status, and that the university no longer has control of its former Northumbria University site in Carlisle, there has been speculation that another change of name for institution is in the offing, as 'Central Lancashire' is now deemed too generic. Future renaming possibilities include Preston City University or the University of Preston. However, as of April 2007, there had been no formal proposal for a name change. This article is about Preston, Lancashire. ... Northumbria University is a modern university located in Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England. ...
