Godlee Observatory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Godlee Observatory is an old astronomical observatory owned by University of Manchester and named after Francis Godlee (1854-1928). It is located in a tower on the roof of the University's Sackville Street building (formerly UMIST Main Building), in the City Centre of Manchester, England. It was constructed in 1902 (the construction of the Sackville Street building began earlier in 1898).

The observatory is operated by the Manchester Astronomical Society.
