I stumbled across this website quite by accident whilst trying to trace a replacement Shoreditch blazer badge. It is a brilliant project and brought back some very special memories for me. Very many thanks!

WOW so sad. I hope someone does something with this soon. The old part must be saved from the bulldozer.
I was at Brunel 78-82 and lived here commuting to the main campus that had inadequate space. Great times had at here and especially Royal Hollaway down the road.

Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this post and the rest of the website is very good.

Great work brings back many memories 70-73

Wow! I was at Shoreditch from ’73 to ’77. The wonderful photography on this site has made me very nostalgic! Thank you.

Wow, brings back lots of excellent memories from my 3 years at the ‘Ditch’ 1962-65. The Dining Hall hadn’t been completed when I was first there and meals were served in the Main Building.

Thanks so much for the effort, a wonderful trip back in time. Thought you might like to see these pictures taken by Jon Osborne on a trip back in 2010

Very sad to see it in an even worse state, incredible what can happen in just two years of neglect.

Awesome site, bringing back happy memories of my four years there (1991-1995) and all the good times with good friends. Thanks for putting this site together. PC

Hi Tom,

Great work on the site, you’ve done a really good job

From reading your comments its good to see that the campus and Brunel University life had the same meaningful and postive impact on you as they did on me and my friends – and I dare say a lot of other people who attended too

Fantastic site guys, just sad that the images are of Runnymede in its “carcass-like” state, not its glory days. Seeing the union, mews and workshops all barricaded up brings a tear to my eye – what a waste!!!

All brings back the memories though. Would be great to have a separate section where old runnymede residents could upload their own photos of the campus in its prime and link then to exactly where the image was taken on the map/aerial view. I’m sure I have lots.

Brunel Design is/was never the same after the move. It could and should have been the next Bauhaus.

Keep up the good work!
