Digging up the College lawn

I'm amused to note that when artist Quentin Blake celebrates 800 years of Cambridge in a mural at Addenbrookes, one of the events he decides to picture is Dorothy Garrod digging up Newnham College lawn, as celebrated by uitlander.

I was just watching it and squeed "she's digging at Newnham!" Then Blake said "I have no idea if she every dug there, but it was her college" and I promptly went "yes she did!"

Lovely mural.

I had the sound off, so didn't hear the commentary. Nice guess though, Quentin!

We've been in touch with the office of comms here and they've promised to let Mr Blake know he guessed correctly.
