Description:
The exterior of the old students union (Since demolished); Taken at ground level from the eastern side of Oxford Road near to the junction with Dover Street the shot is angled north west towards the corner of Lime Grove and Oxford Road. The rather forbidding looking Edwardian building can be seen surrounded by a low brick wall which enclosed a shallow area where a number of fairly large trees were planted their foliage obscuring much of the eastern face of the structure. Next door iron railings cross the eastern entrance onto Lime Grove with a gate providing access to a car park lying just to the south of the union building which contains a number of cars and scooters. The students union was replaced on this site by the present refectory building in the 1960s the union having already moved to the opposite side of Lime grove into a new purpose built structure in 1958.
