Re: University of Blackburn/burnley
If non Oxbridge colleges, like Manchester and Birmingham, are called 'red brick universities', what will these new ones be known as, 'asbestos'?

Re: University of Blackburn/burnley
I think it'd be a crying shame if blackburn had a university because the HE building at blackburn college has decent staff but has Lancasters name on the actual degree, so having a brand new university with its own degree's would only be a down grade to what they currently have.
As for burnley... pfft! |

It has been for a very long time, as have many of the others. The term 'red brick universities' was a term coined in the 1850's, and refers to Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Sheffield, and Leeds. They were founded as non-collegiate colleges, open to all, regardless of background, or religion...and as long as you had a winky.
