I thought Richmond Park had about 400 people (and a few thousand rats)

It was certianly much bigger than Ashbourne / Sheveyn

Also Ladybarn house is opposite the cross roads and is a mainly post-grad hall

Isn't most of Hulme Hall being knocked down ?

Whitworth Park must deserve a mention as the largest hall, behaps include it with the 'central halls' ie - moberly, the Grovesnor halls and that hall in the precint centre.

Most of Hulme Hall is going, just the old block (Houldsworth) and the reception are surviving. I think they plan to rebuild on the same site though - I'll check.

I called Richmond smaller because compared to OP Oak House and Woolton, it is. It is way bigger than Ashburne though.

I was wondering how to include Whitworth Park and Grovesnor, I might to a bit on South Campus, where I could include the post-grad halls on Grafton Street as well. Not sure whether to mention Moberly as it's getting torn down as soon as the new refectory building is put up where the Maths tower was. If they keep to schedule, that'll be next year.

OP tower was ment to have gone in 2001 !


I'm guessing that reffering to St. Gabs as the Virgin Megastore will upset somebody at the bbc
