This block is in honour of my great-grandmother, born Margaret Reid Shackleton. This woman taught Geography at Cambridge University, so the mountains in the block represent her subject. She published her book 'Europe - A Regional Geography' in 1934. She continued to teach after marrying my great-grandfather, FG Mann, and indeed after having her two daughters. I think she is a pretty cool, trail-blazing woman to commemorate
