OX1 3QT

From 1993 to 2001 I used to work at the New Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, OX1 3QT, so I'm just a little bit irritated to see that the place has turned into a big muddy hole in the ground, which last week looked like this:





I understand that this hole will eventually be filled with a new building for Earth Sciences. I took this picture from the windows of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, while I was there interviewing people for a feature about their work. The red brick building behind the hole is the Dyson Perrins Laboratory which used to house organic chemistry research until the new research building opened across the road.
