#LboroMemories

EHB Bar - 1971

Do you have special memories of your time at Loughborough?

We recently ran our #LboroMemories Competition, seeking throwback photographs and memories from our alumni. We received over 260 photographs from more than 70 alumni. Thank you to everyone who got involved. 

Make sure you follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to share in the nostalgia through our weekly “Throwback Thursday” feature.

If you missed the competition but still have photographs to share, please email us.
