Lincoln University by phil_sandford

Lincoln University

This is a shot of one of the (many) Lincoln University buildings on the Brayford Pool taken from the very same spot on Lucy Tower car park that Carole took her shot of the 1960s building where, incidentally, we’ve just had a lovely Italian meal after having been to see the Sam Mendes film, 1917.

This building was there when I did my day-release MSc between 2001-03 towards the end of my Army career; it stood alone then, but in the intervening years more and more buildings have sprung up as the University has grown in both size and reputation. I like the design (it was the Student’s Union in my day (don’t know what it’s used for today)) and I like the arches at the top.

Have had some positive job news today that I need to check and confirm the details first thing tomorrow.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Definitely a modern building with all that glass!

The boats look like they are sitting on top of the water instead of in it. Very cool building. Great to have good job news, even though I know you were loving being a house husband. 😊

As with so, many UK universities, becoming land greedy looks like more building going on behind, lucky tree to have survivec

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Agree Jak. They’re building more faculty buildings and therefore more student accommodation too. Bubble will burst one day and then what ....

This is definitely not the Lincoln University we have here, just up the road. No boating at all there. Good to learn about your university. Hope the job news continues to be good!

It's a lovely building with those arches. It certainly has a beautiful view overlooking the harbour.

Oooh all the best with that job news, hope it goes your way. What did you think of 1917?

@casablanca Thankyou. A ‘good’ film, not a ‘great’ film. Absolutely GREAT cinematography.

It is very lively and active.

Lovely composition. I love the boats in the foreground. Hope the job news turns out to be what you want to hear.
