If it is not too late for more material, I know of at least one other past flat of the Shambles and another graduate of those days now reisident back in Dunedin who could be contacted for more stories. The Shambles was primarily a mining student flat. I was a Mineral Technology student in the mid 1960s and well knew the mining background of the Shambles of the 1950s to early 1960s. I think this is probably its key aspect, rather than tracing the origins of the meaning of shambles. Roger Donkin was a mining or metallurgy student in those days the Otago School of Mines aka OU Faculty of Technology covered mining, metallurgy and surveying.
