Opened in 1895 as a social, educational and cultural centre, the\u00a0St Bride Foundation<\/a>\u00a0housed both a technical library and printing school providing tuition for local printers and students. As the school grew in size, it eventually outgrew its premises and relocated before turning into the London College of Communication.<\/p>\n
