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.
