Happy Fence Friday, All.

I have walked past this building many, many, many times! There are plaques on the wall and I have always meant to check out the name of this building. Even when taking this shot I still did NOT check out the name :-))

But, after some subsequent investigation, I am now sure this is part of the Clarendon Laboratory. This Laboratory, located on Parks Road within the Science Area in Oxford, England is part of the Department of Physics at Oxford University. It houses the atomic and laser physics, condensed matter physics, and biophysics groups within the Department.

The Laboratory consists of two adjoining buildings, the Lindemann Building (named after Frederick Lindemann, 1st Viscount Cherwell) and the Grade II listed Townsend Building (named after Sir John Sealy Townsend).

So, this building is the Townsend Building :-)
