“I have just been on the amazing Lady Mabel College Tour led by Sue and Cheryl. They were lovely and very informative guides and I felt I’d really entered into the life, history and values of the College. We went into lots of rooms not normally open on other tours and saw lots of memorabilia collected from previous students. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in social history and the lives of people from the 1950s to late 1970s.” | Sally, Lady Mabel Tour Attendee
