Picture dated October 8th shows Isobel Gardner,20,a second year medical student at Cambridge University, looking out of her room at St John’s College on the first day of term as the largest wall of Boston Ivy in Britain turns red. The LARGEST wall of Boston Ivy in Britain is turning a spectacular blaze of red as the UK sees a mix of sunny spells and thundery downpours today (Tues). The magnificent 170-year-old ivy on the back of the building at St John’s College in Cambridge is changing from green to scarlet as the students starts their lectures at the prestigious university this morning. Around half the creeper, which covers New Court and was planted in the 1830’s, has now turned into splendid shades of crimson and the rest is expected to follow this week.
