My First Web Page

During my first year at Royal Holloway, I had the honour of living in Williamson 'Willy' House. Desperate to get myself a little bit of space on the web, I asked the webmaster of the college site to give me a little bit of space to write a "William House Home Page".

Just before Christmas 1995, the page was posted and quickly became infamous. Nobody ever visited the site, because the only way to get to it, was to click on the little square that represented Willy House on the campus map.

In 1996, the college bought a new server, and rewrote their entire site. The Official Williamson House Page was thought lost forever. However, the old server still exists and it is possible to access part of the old page.

Now I have dedicated a small part of my GeoCities web site to my first ever web creation. The page has been updated to remove dead links, and only two of the three original pages still exist. The graphics have become lost, as they never even made onto the web. The spirit of the page is the same however, and I present it here as a tribute to the concrete cube that is Willy House.
