The University of Lincoln started out as the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside, having been created the University of Humberside in 1992 from Humberside Polytechnic.
The University of Lincolnshire and Humberside had roots going back to the 19th century. These can be traced back to a number of higher educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), Endsleigh Training College (1905) and the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930).
All these higher educational institutions not associated with the University of Hull were merged in 1976 to form the Hull College of Higher Education. In 1983 this institution became the Humberside College of Higher Education (HCHE) when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing which were running in Grimsby. HCHE gained polytechnic status in 1990, and then in 1992 became one of the many polytechnics in the UK to become full universities.
