Dominating the three-acre site of Green College is the eighteenth-century Radcliffe Observatory. The building functioned as an observatory for 160 years from 1773 until 1934, when the previous owners (the Radcliffe Trustees) decided to sell it and to erect a new observatory in Pretoria, South Africa, where the less polluted atmosphere would be suitable for the study of the southern hemisphere. The purchaser of the Radcliffe Observatory in 1934 was Lord Nuffield who presented it to the hospital authorities and in 1936 established the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research there. In 1979 the Institute moved to new premises in the grounds of the John Radcliffe Hospital, thus freeing the Observatory site for its new owner.
