There are several threads on the Forum about Phyllis Nicklin's photographic work, her background and her legacy. But none of these show her day-to -day work. Here are a few glimpses of that work. They tell us that, not only did she lecture at Birmingham University, but she also delivered courses around the Midlands at weekends and during summer breaks.

The first shows a rare (albeit poor quality) image of Phyllis at a Coventry Historical meeting. Viv.

Can you view these Mort ?

Lyn - be nice to see the photo in the original newspaper as I'm sure it would be better than the one scanned online. Viv

Phyllis' popularity as a lecturer was such that her University lectures had to be held in the largest lecture theatre. And she was certainly in demand further afield. Viv.

There is something technically strange with this thread ...
I can see the images and the thumbnails expand when I am not logged in but
cannot see them when I am logged in ... I get error messages.
Using PC and also iPad, same results on both.
I have never seen that before ...:)
 
To Mort and OM - This might be due to 'permissions'. Shall ask Warren to look into it for us. Viv.

Hi Lyn, it is something to do with permissions because I have no 'edit' option in this thread and also have no 'image upload' option. I have just uploaded one of the above pics in the forum test area with no problem so the images are ok.

I've asked Warren to look into the permissions so hopefully we can get it working for you all. Lyn and I have the necessary permission as moderators.

The alternative is to move the thread to another area where members have access. Viv.
