Scope and Contents

24. New Hall grounds (12 minutes, 28 Oct. 2003); 25. Ann Gower.
ANN GOWER, interviewed 4.11.03 (42 minutes), recalls living in Silver Street and St Chad's (1956-59) as an undergraduate and, after being a research student in radio-astronomy, becoming a Research Fellow (1964-67).
She speaks of her interview, and dining at Silver Street in the late fifties. She mentions some Fellows, and remembers living in Orchard House soon before it was demolished for the new buildings, with Miss Murray salvaging some fittings for re-use.

Her recollections of Rosemary Murray include her excellent chemistry supervisions, and more recent personal visits.
