Uni: Scenes of Plymouth and the PPSU Bar, Plymouth Polytechnic, Devon - 28th April 1986

It's a round-up of at least two sets of negatives, which may or may not be contemporaneous, showing various scenes around Plymouth and the Barbican, as well as some PPSU bar life - in particular some behind-the-bar action and a photo of the ill-fated SU Burger bar. It's the year when the bars were renamed, with the main bar becoming the "Sporting and Honking Bar", whilst the little bar, which was previous known as the "People's Glorious Revolution of October 1917" bar, was renamed as the "Never Open Especially When It's Busy" bar.
