“ The Wedgwood was bought as a present for my parents. The glass is from one of the infamous Irish nights, together with my Keele scarf. Both are from 1977-80.”
“ I’ m not sure if this qualifies as vintage merchandise, but it certainly is vintage! I was at Keele 1972-1976, so it dates from then. It has lasted well! It’ s an A4 ring binder which I bought in the Keele shop in the early 1970’ s. I’ ve also got one in black, tres chic!”

“ A photo from a recent trip with me wearing my Keele scarf from 1991, along with 4 pals who I met at Keele. We meet up 2-3 times a year and decided to visit the site of Stalag Luft III, the POW camp from where the Great Escape took place. It is in Zagan, western Poland.
Our visit was aided by papers written by Keele academic, Jamie Pringle!
