The College and University Years
Only about three people in the world will probably know who all these people are (and I'm not one of them), but it's a nostalgic and yet cathartic process to get these old photos digitised. These cover the years 1985-1989, at Brockenhurst College in the New Forest and Plymouth Polytechnic (now the University of Plymouth) in Devon.
