Biographical history
In 1890 the Local Taxation (Customs and Excise) Act placed a duty on beer and spirits, the proceeds of which were given to county borough councils for technical education. In 1893 the London County Council set up a Technical Education Board which helped to create eighteen new technical institutes by 1904.
The Wandsworth Technical Institute was founded in 1895. It was constructed on Wandsworth High Street on the site of an ice rink. In 1926 new buildings were completed at the High Street site, these are now Grade II listed. During the Second World War the students were evacuated to Stoke Park in Guildford and the college buildings used to train radar operators. In 1974 the Institute merged with the Putney College of Further Education and was renamed South Thames College.
