St Matts Campus Photography Day

The Campus was previously a teacher training college, which opened in 1853.

St Matthius campus (St Matts) is where Emma and I have spent our last three years studying, along with all the other humanities students at UWE. Unfortunately, the campus is closing down in 2014, which is gutting, but also makes us feel privileged to be the final students to have studied there.

 

 

Like most of the other students, we took the grade II listed buildings and Gothic architecture for granted and it wasn’t until we stopped to take photographs of the campus that we realised that it’s not called the ‘mini Hogwarts’ for nothing.



SU Bar

Walking through St Matts you are guaranteed to bump into everyone you know or absolutely no one at all. We are going to miss sitting in the sunken lawn, the tiny but much-loved SU bar, and believe it or not, the library (our second home). So here is a collection of the photographs we took:



 

A Cute Note We Found That Read:
'Stop. Smile. Breathe.
Life is Beautiful.'

 



We couldn’t write this post without giving a dedication to our much loved campus cat Boris, who sadly passed away this year. Boris often sat in on Sarah’s Gothic literature classes and was loved by almost everyone at St Matts. Goodbye Boris.
