Part of a Hall of Residence for the University of Bristol. Back in 1960 we students lived in style. There was a billiards room with a full-size table, and the baths had enormous taps delivering a torrent of scalding-hot water. This photo was probably taken in October.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is the main quad at the centre of Wills Hall which was officially opened by Sir Winston Churchill, who was then the Chancellor of the University, in December 1929. It was built on a 26 acre site around a nineteenth century house called Downside, which had been constructed in the style know as Strawberry Hill Gothic, and which is now the Warden's house. The hall was designed by Sir George Oatley, who was also responsible for many other fine buildings in the University and the City. The cost was met by Sir George Wills in memory of his brother Henry Herbert Wills - both of whom were sons of Henry Overton Wills, the first Chancellor of the University.
