I was walking around the lake recently in the sun (where was that all summer?), and I passed a beautiful but odd sight. Since I have only been at Nottingham for two weeks, I had no idea what the two lions you can see framing our spectacular Trent Building represented. So I did a little digging…
As I’m sure you know, UoN has two sister campuses in China and Malaysia and just over a week ago was the tenth anniversary of our relationship with the campus in Ningbo, China. To celebrate, they generously gave us these two stone lions, and in return we’re giving them a life-sized Robin Hood statue much like the one outside Nottingham Castle.
So now you know next time you see them, these fierce looking lions are much more than decoration
