The pack of six cards, which includes various scenes familiar to current and former students of the University, represents a tiny fraction of the many hundreds of photos which are donated back to the University by our alumni community.

The six cards feature: 

• Students ice skating on a frozen Highfields Lake in the early 1960s
• Hugh Stewart ‘types’ posing for a late 1950s celebration
• Students walking across the quad in a 1960s scene
• High jinx in the Battle of the Lake in 1956
• A soaking for everyone at the Derby Hall photo shoot of 1976
• The Florence Boot Bunny Girls of 1975

For each pack of cards sold, £1 will be donated to the Campus Landscape Fund, which is used to enhance the University’s grounds and gardens so they can be enjoyed by students past, present and future. Every £100 raised buys four standard trees, 40 shrubs or 1,000 flower bulbs.

Sue Daley said: “We’re absolutely delighted with the Retro Collection and we think younger and older alumni alike will love them. The idea of buying a pack and donating something back to the beauty of Nottingham’s award-winning campus setting is a lovely idea and we’d like to say a big thank-you to all the photographers who donated their pictures.”
