Abstract:
AbstractThis article presents a case study of life and work at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich (1835–1933) which reveals tensions between the lived reality of the observatory as a social space, and the attempts to create order, maintain discipline and project an image of authority in order to ensure the observatory's long-term stability. Domestic, social and scientific activities all intermingled within the observatory walls in ways which were occasionally disorderly. But life at Greenwich was carefully managed to stave off such disorder and to maintain an appearance of respectability which

Abstract:
In 1939, the British Admiralty agreed to move the Royal Observatory from Greenwich to a better site away from London. The removal was postponed due to the Second World War, and the observatory’s re-establishment at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex in the 1940s and 1950s was further delayed by post-war economic difficulties. This paper examines several proposals to remove the observatory that were put forward over a period spanning slightly more than a century before 1939 and asks why none of these were taken up. I argue that the lateness of the move was due partly to astronomers’ fears that the o

Abstract:
In the closing years of the eighteenth century, France and Britain enjoyed a period of external peace that their scientific communities put to good use by finding an objective common to the leading academic institutions: the Académie royale des sciences in France, and the Royal Society in England. This was not an entirely new concept; the novelty was that the objective would be brought about by teams from each side working outside their own borders. It was part of both nations' long-running search for a means of establishing longitudes on land and at sea. The specific objective, however, was c

Abstract:
This chapter provides historical context to the development of the precision pendulum clock. It primarily looks at the historical astronomical clocks at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich; their use, acquisition, and modification to demonstrate that there was continual desire for better timekeeping in the Observatory. It argues that the core theoretical principals in clock making began with Robert Hooke’s demonstration to the Royal Society in 1669 and remained largely unchanged through to the obsolescence of pendulum time standards in the mid-1900s. By studying historical experiments into the ef
