Description: Looking from Highfields Park over towards Clifton Boulevard (Ring Road). The old Highfields Lido (freezing cold open-air baths) can just be seen in the foreground (this is now the site of the Djanogly Art centre). Note that land clearance for the construction of the future Queens Medical Centre has just started in this picture. The University re-located to its present site between Lenton, Dunkirk and Beeston in 1928. (The old location was the Victorian high gothic University College building on Shakespeare Street.) The new buildings (not these seen here) were officially opened by King George V and Queen Mary. In August 1948, the University College received the royal charter granting full University status and the power to confer its own degrees. Prior to this date students at Nottingham received degrees from the University of London.
