Richard Ikin MBE: “My time studying at Salford will always be a fond memory of night school twice a week in a not-so-warm lecture room on top floor with dodgy massive wall heaters in the room, I understand the heating is now considerably much improved!”

Our University Archivist, Alex Mitchell, also brought along a few pieces from the archives, which sparked plenty of memories and conversations about people’s time at Salford.
