From 'J' floor, main building, University of Bradford. On an undergraduate chemistry course there, tangled in a failing physical chemistry practica I think involving a microscope, smoke particles, and a vacuum chamber with a gate through which molecules were free to wander, I found that the microscope, reversed and pointed at the western horizon, picked up some of the arches of the rather beautiful and unlikely Thornton Viaduct, picked out against the snowy backdrop of the field that backed them. Thirty years later this musing may have been one of the things that gave rise to Bath's Two Tunnels project:
Happily, Thornton Viaduct is still with us and is also in use as a shared use path, part of the Great Northern Trail.
A reunion of the BTech University of Bradford 'Class of '76' provided the opportunity to take a photograph from the same building and perhaps the same lab ...
