The Manchester School of Design was set up in 1838, only the second design school in Britain, and became the Manchester School of Art shortly after. The present magnificent art school (now Grosvenor building) was built in 1880, and it was here in the early years of the century that L.S.Lowry studied.Many well known artists and designers have taught here over the decades including painter Adolphe Vallete (a contemporary of Lowry’s) and Walter Crane, who was Head of Design.
