Looking across Brook Hill (A57) towards the University's Chemistry Department in April or May, 1972. See Image] for a similar view taken 40 years later. As well as the obvious changes to the far (Richard Roberts) building, the bus stop outside the Dainton building has been moved and the metal fencing has been extended (presumably to discourage students from vaulting the concrete central barrier as a short cut to Marge's Cafe and the Students' Union buildings). The road has also acquired double yellow lines so the modern picture doesn't have any parked cars.
