The two busts remained on display from 1905 until 1930. The Faraday bust was lost in the 1970s. The bust of Joseph Lancaster has been housed in a succession of places: the Polytechnic's Students' Union building on Rotary Street, New Kent Road, Diary House in 1995, and eventually in the now-closed Tower Restaurant, run by the National Bakery School until 2010.
