Bar, Rosebery Avenue Hall of residence, 1974

  • LSE Library said:
    This image struck a chord with LSE alumnus Edmund O’Sullivan (Monetary Economics, graduated 1976):
    ‘The two people pictured were then undergraduates: one was to become the president of the LSE rugby team with called Hughes (can't remember the first name). He was the first steward of the hall bar. After graduating, he went into manufacturing and now works for a recruitment consultant.
    The man being served (first name also escapes) was someone named Davies, who studied economics. Bolth were first year students at the time.
    The hall was the centre of controversy that winter when it was discovered there was a substantial deficiency in the accounts which I suspected was due to people drinking beer without paying for it.
    I lived in the half in 1974/75 and 1975/76 and was president of the hall's resident's committee.
    The warden was then Stephen Hill (industrial relations lecturer). Deputy warden was Stephen Lumby, who was then a lecturer in accounting.
    The hall was officially opened in the spring of 1975 by HM The Queen Mother who some believed financed the project.
    Residents in the first year or Roseberry included Alan Friedman, an NYU visitor who later became a reporter for the FT and an author.’

    Trying to place the location of where the original bar was? I was at Rosebery some 26 years later and the bar was very different to this
