The Northampton Institute was not in the town of Northampton but, in fact, a college in Clerkenwell, London, built in 1894 on land presented by the Marquess of Northampton, very close indeed to the centre of the British manufacturing optics industry. It opened for classes (in Optics) in 1896. (see: 11095692 and 10934342) Date: circa 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, showcases the Northampton Institute in Clerkenwell, London, a higher education institution with a rich history in the field of optics and ophthalmology. The Northampton Institute, despite its name, was not located in the town of Northampton but rather in the heart of London, close to the bustling center of the British manufacturing optics industry. The Marquess of Northampton generously presented the land for the institute's construction, and it opened its doors for classes in 1896. Specializing in optics, the Northampton Institute played a pivotal role in advancing knowledge and research in this field during the early 1900s. The institute's commitment to education and medical advancements is evident in this image, which depicts the grandeur and sophistication of the institution. The Northampton Institute's location in Clerkenwell, a vibrant and industrious area of London, placed it at the epicenter of the city's intellectual and scientific community. This photograph serves as a testament to the institute's significant role in the development of optics and ophthalmology during this era. The Northampton Institute's legacy continues to inspire and influence the fields of science, education, and medicine, making this image a valuable historical artifact.
