Looking up through the University of Bristol’s Royal Fort Gardens to the Physics Building. Construction of the gardens, and of the architecturally important Royal Fort House which sits at their heart, was begun in 1758 by Thomas Tyndall. The Physics Building was funded by HH Wills, with construction started in 1921. Although owned by the University (http://www.bristol.ac.uk), Royal Fort Gardens are open to the public for much of the year.
