Description
-
The university coffee shop, presided over by Mrs. Creaven (known affectionately to all as 'Ma Creaven') was for many years the only place available on campus to purchase refreshments. A former sports pavilion, it was the social hub of the college and notices for all sporting and social events were displayed in its windows or on its interior walls. It appears to be Spring or early Summer, as the sun is shining, an unidentified woman wearing white sunglasses is pictured about to enter the building, and under an adjacent tree a group of unidentified students are seated at a picnic table.
