The Fry floor, kitchen, sitting area, Control Room and the Toilets
have all been successfully refurbished and provide much improved and
more spacious facilities for students and staff.
The Wilson Building was completely stripped and has been repainted, and new
windows fitted. The driveway area has been surfaced with fresh shingle.
The Radcliffe Foyer had a makeover and is now used as an area for Theodolite
training, a waiting area for visitor groups and exhibition space where we
now display some historical equipment previously in use at the Observatory.
This includes the spectrograph used by Miss E. M. Peachey (who was later
known as Dr E. M. Burbidge) during the 1940s.
