An ancient shot I took while studying with the Open University. This was a week long session at the Royal Holloway place in the south west of London. Marvellous building, fantastic place to be. It was begun as a college for women, I think since the false equality laws took over it is now open to anyone rich enough o pay the fees. A week there was enough for me mind, had I been young and studious it may appeal but by that time I liked my own place too much. I would finish the course but the history on offer is poor and each costs £2400 these days. Beyond me now, but never mind, I was a poor student and was only doing it for me myself and I. Lovely individual rooms the girls had I must say. Sufficiently large for one, possibly cool in winter, own sink and fire, and the stairs would keep them fit! A real fine Victorian building this. He also constructed a psychiatric sanatorium nearby, in use until the late 80's, made in similar style. Some studying might have wondered if they were in the right building at times I suspect.

You've no doubt learned much more outside of the confines of its four or more thick walls...more about life, girls and all else.

ReplyDeleteHappy St. Valentine's Day to you.
I'd want to study here just for the room.
ReplyDeleteLee, I often hold my head in my hands.....
ReplyDeleteMo, You would love the building!
I really love the buildings built during the time of the Victorians.
ReplyDeleteMany of those buildings that I admired in London in 1981 (the first year I saw London) are no longer standing. I miss them.
Kay, Progress!! If you like glass buildings.
