October 21st 2012 was the one hundred and ten year anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone which began the building of Ruskin Hall and the creation of Bournville School of Art.
This map shows Ruskin Hall in 1914 before the Maple Road building came into existence.
Art has left the building is designed to celebrate and commemorate the 111 years that Bournville School of Art will have been in existence. In July 2013 it closes its doors on its artistic legacy and becomes the Birmingham City University Language School, for international students.
This image was taken from the 1983 Bournville Yearbook created by students and now prescient, I imagine the cartoonists are amongst those pictured below.
