From the reference box # 66





#66 - Modern University Building UK stamps, September 1971. A really striking set of stamps designed by Nicholas Jenkins.

They each utilise large blocks of colour and simple, geometric illustrations to showcase four amazing 'modern' university buildings:

3p - Physical Sciences Building, Aberystwyth University College
5p - Faraday Building, University of Southampton
7 1/2p - Engineering Department, University of Leicester
9p - Hexagon Restaurant, University of Essex

Mine came on this lovely First Day Cover from Middlesex with the stamps images also printed on the envelope...

    Brilliant! I love that Aberystwyth features on this.

    Also the fireworks labels are amazing.
    You should have a gallery or museum called 'from the reference box'.

    What smashing stamps! Absolutely love the 7 1/2p one. They should run them again.
