This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures a scenic view of Vanbrugh Way at the University of York campus in Heslington, North Yorkshire. The archival image documents the expansive modernist landscape of the university, featuring a man in a light-coloured suit and a young boy standing on a grassy verge beside a curving asphalt road. In the background, the campus’s signature functionalist architecture is visible, with multi-storey concrete academic blocks and residential colleges situated around the central lake. A series of distinctive covered walkways with white supports cross the water and link the buildings, illustrating the innovative “plate glass university” urban planning of the era. The surrounding grounds show 1970s landscaping efforts, including young saplings, formal flower beds, and a large mound of earth from ongoing site work. This factual record preserves the early architectural character and open environment of the University of York during the mid-1970s.
