Pictures

EU10-05370 The view looking north-west towards the Lafrowda Enhanced accommodation.

[Above] This view shows the Lafrowda accommodation to the north-west.

EU10-05369 A similar view, looking from slightly further west.

[Above] This picture was taken from the pavement outside Lafrowda J.

EU10-05368 The view from outside Lafrowda J.

[Above] This picture was taken from the entrance to Lafrowda J.

EU10-5 Inside the main door to the Lafrowda J complex. This is the main staircase.

[Above] The main doorway to St. German's Road is to the right. The doorway leading to the path to the main site is to the left. The entrance to J1 (ground floor) is behind the camera.

EU10-1 Inside Lafrowda J1, looking towards the main entrance to the J1 corridor.

[Above] Inside Lafrowda J1. This picture shows the main staircase in the background.

EU10-3 Inside Lafrowda J104, the main corridor is through the door on the right.

[Above] Inside J104, the first room on the right. The picture faces south-east.

EU10-0264 The main corridor of Lafrowda J1.

[Above] Inside the main corridor to J1. The picture faces south-west. To the left are various doors leading to the cleaning cupboard, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen (distant). On the wall to the left is an intercom, which I think was connected to the outside. This enabled the inside user (assuming they wanted to answer it) to unlock the main door for those without the code, giving access to the internal communal areas.

EU10-0252 The J1 kitchen, looking towards the door.

[Above] This is a view of the J1 Kitchen, showing the door on the centre right.

EU10-0251 The J1 kitchen, from the opposite side.

[Above] This is a view of the J1 kitchen, from the opposite site. It looks like there might have been another doorway through the wall in the centre, which has since been blocked up.

EU10-0250 More of the J1 kitchen.

[Above] More of the J1 kitchen, showing the precise location of critical infrastructure components like the microwave.

EU10-0249 The food cupboards and recycling boxes.

[Above] The food cupboards, next to the fridge. I'm not sure why I took this picture, but it fits with the rest of the kitchen. The four recycling boxes would need to be emptied regularly despite there being, at most, four people in on the entire ground floor.

EU12-00284 Looking north-east towards where Lafrowda block J used to be.

[Above] This picture was taken outside the south-east entrance to the Lemmy in 2012. Lafrowda block J (and others) have gone, their replacements under construction.

EU10-120910194029 A poster remarking on the protests at Millbank tower in London, where a fire extinguisher was thrown from the roof of the building.

[Above] This poster relates to the main protests in London, where the Millbank tower was occupied [bbc.co.uk] and a fire extinguisher thrown from the roof.

EU10-120910171451 An online BBC News article, with BBC News showing on the presentation screens behind.

[Above] This is a picture of the BBC News site at the time, and BBC News is showing a live houses of Parliament session on the presentation screens behind.

EU10-120910172931 One of the Newman lecture theatres had been commandeered for the purpose of directing the local demonstrations.

[Above] This shows the live BBC News broadcast coverage being shown on the dual presentation screens in a lecture theatre.

EU10-05370 The train to exeter.

[Above] This picture was taken on the train to Exeter. I think these trains have finally been turned into razor blades, maybe one has been saved for a museum.
