History

In 1798, two men in England named Samuel Fox and William Singleton are both the minds behind adult school. They both created an adult school in Nottingham, England. It does not have a name. At first, the classes were for young adult aged women that had classes from hosiery to lacing. As the years passed by, the school included men.
