Chelsea College of Science and Technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chelsea College of Science and Technology was established as a College of Advanced Technology on a single site on the corner of Manresa Road and King's Road, Chelsea, London as part of the University of London in 1966 and was granted its Royal Charter in 1971.
[edit] History
The site on Manresa Road had been earmarked for the college as early as 1890[1] and was opened as South West Polytechnic in 1895[2] and became the Chelsea Polytechnic in 1922[2]. By 1965 Parliament was considering a move of the College to St Albans in Hertfordshire [3].
In 1985 the college merged with nearby Queen Elizabeth College and soon thereafter the merged college was itself amalgamated into Kings College.
