The Bowring Institute completed 130 and 150 years in 2018 — 130 because the foundation stone of the current 12-acre property on St Mark’s Road was laid on 22 November 1888. However, the elite members-only club had an earlier avatar, which happened in 1868.[citation needed]
The institute was formed at a time when the industrial revolution was at its peak in Europe.[4]
