Door from staircase
The door to a hidden area of Maidwell - off limits to students and most staff, but photographed by ACM in 2019! The access afforded views down into various classrooms, and led to a sizeable storeroom of old electronic equipment - some of which had been brought out and left at the bottom of the stairs. Various items were offered to museums, and some were collected by those organisations.





Do you have any Avenue Campus photos, promotional material, course sheets, SU newspapers or staff bulletins? Your item(s) could really help this project!
We can scan things and digitise your VHS videos!
