On Campus

Founded in 1905 The University of Sheffield was formed as part of the wave of civic universities also known as red brick universities. Now a sign of quality the term used to be uttered in a derisory way by fellows of the oldest universities in the land. Still, enough of the history lesson. This week my walk has taken me through the University campus with an array of old and new architecture. This week also sees the return of the featured submission, as ever at the very bottom of the blog. Please remember to find the blog on facebook and on twitter.

Street Art?

As promised this week is the first of many parts. There is a lot of really good graffiti and street art in the city. Obviously I'm not talking about indiscriminate scribbles or pointless tagging (well maybe just the one), there wont be any "I woz ere" or ejaculating penises here. There is some great talent on the streets so I've put some together to share with the world. Normally I would name each picture but I've decided this week to just let the art speak for itself. Also I will be grouping the pieces by the place they were found instead of individual tags. As this is a street art special I wont be doing any featured submissions. I am still looking for more of your photos of Sheffield though please check Facebook and Twitter for more details. I hope you enjoy the art.
