The exhibition the first of its kind ever mounted at the Observatory, is being housed in a part of the castle and members of the public will still be able to visit the castle. It will display the history of the observatory and Castle, something about future developments. Picture Shows: Director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory Professor F.
