Origins
The college started as Queens' College in Paradise Street,["The Making of Birmingham: Being a History of the Rise and Growth of the Midland Metropolis", Robert K. Dent, Published by J. L. Allday, 1894 ] central Birmingham in 1828, as an Anglican-based medical school which developed a broad range of education. Eventually the non-theological departments joined the nearby Mason Science College which became the University of Birmingham, leaving Queen's College as a theological establishment, which moved to Somerset Road in 1923.]References
