  • Tindall's Memories
    MEMORIES OF THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT K. F. Tindall 1 Memories of the Physics Department by K.F. Tindall Foreword My memories of life at the H.H.Wills Physics Laboratory in the University of Bristol span forty-one years. There are gaps, for I was not there for the whole of that period; indeed, in 1940, although I was in the building, I was there as an Admiralty visitor, and between 1949 and 1951 I was at St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Paddington. The urge to record some of the happenings in the department over the years has been with me for a long time. I promised myself I would do it when I retired but other interests affected my motivation. In December, 1989, I met Professor Thompson in the laboratory who asked me if I'd started writing. When I said I was thinking about it he encouraged me greatly, saying, "GET ON WITH IT!" I have tried to verify all facts and dates and am very grateful to all my colleagues throughout the University who have supplied information. From outside the department those whom I thank include Sir Alfred Pugsley, Mr.Evan Wright, Mrs.Molly Sanders, Chris Harries and Brian Jenkins. Don Carleton advised me to include everything I could remember. I have followed his advice but there are bound to be omissions. My thanks certainly go to Eleanor, my wife, who has not only tolerated my disappearing from the domestic scene for hours at a time while I applied fingers to keyboard, but has aided my memory and criticised, helpfully, my results.

  • The Richmond Building 105 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LN Tel (0117) 331 8600
    The Richmond Building 105 Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LN Tel (0117) 331 8600 www.bristolsu.org.uk Student Council Meeting 05/06/2017 Motion Name: Anti slavery commemoration Background: - Bristol’s callous and shameful tie’s to slavery is embedded around the city. Notorious for its prosperous slaving port and importing of goods from slave plantations, the wealth and profits from the trade is still prominent. - Many university associated buildings have links to slavery, including; Goldney Hall, Wills memorial building , Wills hall and an association to the Colston society. - University of Bristol’s black acceptance rate is 6.9 per cent making it the fifth lowest of any Russell Group university. Purpose: - Due to the University being located centrally in a city that profited greatly from slavery, it has a responsibility to address the history especially in university buildings that uphold those links. - With students attending halls such as Goldney and Wills we believe the university should play an active role in further educating the students on their links to slavery. - With a small percentage of BME students attending the university, we believe that addressing the history will further incite a more inclusive and diverse environment, especially due to the prospect of graduating in the Wills memorial building. - In the wake of several BME students being targeted and racially abused within the university grounds. Educating all students on the university buildings with links to slavery, essentially reduces ignorance and therefore indicates that the university is taking steps to provide are more inclusive environment for BME students. Action: - To have more information inside the Wills memorial building about its history and links to slave produced tobacco.
