EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing the rapid development of the University of Warwick on the outskirts of Coventry. The image showcases the initial construction phase at Gibbet Hill, where the first buildings were being erected to welcome a new intake of students in October. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can see a bustling building site filled with activity and potential. On the left side stands an impressive science block, symbolizing progress and innovation. In the center, commanding attention, is the library building - a beacon of knowledge and learning for generations to come. The scene is characterized by heaps of rubble scattered around as evidence of ongoing construction work. It serves as a reminder that great achievements often rise from humble beginnings. This photograph not only captures an important moment in history but also reflects Coventry's commitment to education and growth during this era. It reminds us how universities play a vital role in shaping communities and fostering intellectual curiosity. Preserved by Hickman's lens, this image invites us to reflect on our own educational journeys while appreciating how far institutions like Warwick have come since their inception. A testament to progress and ambition, it encapsulates both nostalgia for times gone by and optimism for what lies ahead in academia's ever-evolving landscape.
