New Museums Site was once dominated by the old Cavendish Laboratory. In spite of the oppressive working atmosphere much great work was done here, including the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson and the determination of the structure of DNA by Crick and Watson.
The new Cavendish Laboratory does not come even close to matching the original in beauty or spirit.
