THE COLLEGE OF ART, GRAND PARADE

Taken about 1907, this is perhaps the best photograph of this Victorian College, showing the rather forbidding frontage and the dingy appearance of the north façade in Sussex Street. Incidentally, in the adjoining tall house, in the 1870s lived Mr Jacob Boys, a friend of Dr. Charles Beard, one of the principle witnesses in the trial of Christiana Edmunds. This was the murder trial in the “Poisoned Chocolates” case held in the Old Bailey in January 1872
