This week the search for the missing sculpture continued with a trip to the archives at the University of Derby to see if I could locate some more information about the old Mickleover campus and the sculpture that once sat within the grounds.
The first hour went well with lots of photos of the University over the years, but nothing of the sculpture. It was difficult to figure out which of the old photos featured which campus as the University of Derby spans many locations and campuses, so a little detective work was required by finding a titled image and then matching up items such as chimney styles, window and door shapes.
After a while the floor was littered with images in different groups until I had a photographic map of the different campuses throughout the ages and then it started to become clear which pile of images related to the old Mickleover campus.
