Happy Fence Friday, All Entrance to Green Templeton College, Oxford. Extract from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Templeton_College,_Oxford ~ "Green Templeton College (GTC) is a constituent college of the University of Oxford. The college is located on the former Green College site on Woodstock Road next to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter in North Oxford and is centred on the architecturally important Radcliffe Observatory an 18th-century building, modelled on the ancient Tower of the Winds at Athens. It is the university's second newest graduate college, after Reuben College, having been founded by the historic merger of Green College and Templeton College in 2008."

Happy Fence Friday, All. One of my Oxford shots from the Archives.

If I don't hurry up it will be 'Happy Fence Saturday' :-) So, this will have to be my HFF entry! "Happy Fence Friday" everyone :-) This is no longer used as an Observatory. It is now the centre-piece of Green Templeton College.

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) The Radcliffe Observatory dating from 1794 reflected in the Andrew Wiles Building dating from 2013. The following is an extract from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Observatory "Radcliffe Observatory was founded and named after John Radcliffe by the Radcliffe Trustees. It was built on the suggestion of the astronomer Thomas Hornsby, who was occupying the Savilian Chair of Astronomy, following his observation of the notable transit of Venus across the sun's disc in 1769 from a room in the nearby Radcliffe Infirmary. The building is now used by Green Templeton College off the Woodstock Road and forms a centrepiece for the college.The original instruments are located in the Museum of the History of Science in central Oxford, with the exception of the Radcliffe 18/24-inch Twin Refractor telescope, which was transferred to the University of London Observatory." Extract from www.worldconstructionnetwork.com/news/oxford-university-opens-andrew-wiles-mathematical-institute-building-041013 as follows - “Oxford University in the UK has opened a new £70 million ($113 million) mathematical institute building. The building is named after the Oxford professor, Andrew Wiles, who proved Fermat's last theorem. Designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, the Andrew Wiles building will feature six lecture theatres, 500 mathematical researchers and about 900 undergraduates. The building will have space to unite all of the university's mathematicians departments, who were previously based at three separate locations.”
