Hi fellow Lawns enthusiasts. I'm confused as to why there is no section concerning the part the Lawns played as a Soviet satellite state during the cold war. My grandfather used to travel back and forth between the Lawns and Moscow regularly in the 1960s to update comrade Khrushchev on the revolutionary climate of Cottingham. I feel as though this is crucial to fully outlining the historical context of the Lawns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.133.46.131 (talk) 15:57, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Err, why are the pictures pictures of signs? If I was coming to Hull uni and wanted to pick a hall to live in, those pictures wouldn't tell me much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.51.230 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- It is the best we have at the moment. A user who put up pictures has had them deleted hence all of the red-link images Keith D (talk) 19:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Ferens and the Grange
[edit]diff]
I'm not convinced that
- "The physical Cottingham Grange country house was demolished in the 1930s".Lost Heritage | complete list of demolished country houses in England
is accurate - the cottingham castle date appears to be out (1861 according to others).
It states cottingham grange was demolished in the 1930s but http://web.archive.org/web/20060515150515/http://www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupHomepage.asp?GroupId=17205 states after the war.Oranjblud (talk) 16:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Main Article Picture Description is Wrong
[edit]The main picture for the article has a title stating "Photograph of the Lawns from the grassy area, showing Morgan, Nicholson and Lambert Halls". This is factually incorrect. I attended the university and boarded in Nicholson hall, and the picture does not show Morgan Hall, the enire left side of the picture is only Nicholson Hall, the right 1/3rd of the picture (from behind the tree to the right) is Lambert Hall. The title of the picture should be changed, but I don't know how to do it.
This is a plan of the Lawns, showing the Halls on the right, starting with Lambert at the bottom, followed by Nicholson above it , then Morgan and the other halls.
