Structure
This quadrangle was laid out and planted in a ‘low and gentle’ style in 1947-9 by J S Allen, Professor of Town and Country Planning, and was designed as a memorial garden to all those members of the university who had lost their lives in the two world wars. The space consists of flowerbeds, trees, grass areas, benches and a paved walkway and is a busy yet peaceful thoroughfare through the university. It is surrounded on all sides by fine Listed buildings, which are all part of the university. LOCAL LIST
