Sheffield Reunion 2

We met at 10.30 for a very informative tour of the campus.  We started in Graves Building, which looks just  as it did, until you enter the Interval Bar, with it's hand pumps and cappuccino machine. A committee backing the Spanish Civil War was held here.  Graves had not wanted alcohol in the building but after his death in the 40s, the longest student bar in the country was put in place. 
A handsome man arrives just in time. 


We then entered the Firth Court Building.  In 1904, the penny campaign raised £50,000 from the citizens of Sheffield.  They are top of the benefactors list.  I am so proud to have trained in such an egalitarian city. 

Please note Florey of the Oxford Penicillin group below.  




Above is the quadrangle.  Below, the hall. On entering, I suddenly remember doing exams here and experience a shiver.  


We remember those lost in the First World War. 



The library and Arts Tower are unchanged, we enjoyed the paternoster.
