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 [livejournal.com profile] uitlander.

Wot? No hatboxes?

Fantastic mural, I do love Quentin Blake's illustrations. Yay for Rosalind Franklin too!

And I noted that she appeared to be doing all the work as well...

Yes - a nice touch, that.
