Despite my vertigo I had, as chancellor, the honour of climbing inside the telescope @jodrellbank The @OfficialUoM is custodian of this @UNESCO World Heritage Site & it’s stunning Tens of 1000s of people are inspired by it every year & you should see it! jodrellbank.net
@nazirafzal @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM @UNESCO My grandad was a steeplejack and Steel erector, he worked on the construction of this radio telescope many years ago.
@nazirafzal @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM @UNESCO I’ve always been fascinated by this even as a child.
@nazirafzal @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM @UNESCO My trip up into the dish as a student at Jodrell is one of my coolest memories. Driving in, in the mornings and seeing the Lovell telescope occupying the horizon was always a delight. Love this place.
@nazirafzal @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM @UNESCO I find it amazing! So did my grandkids!
@nazirafzal @jodrellbank @OfficialUoM @UNESCO She’s a beauty. Grew up near her!
