On 11 April 2018, a small group of CSES members were privileged to receive a guided tour of Lord Rayleigh's laboratory at Terling Place, which remains today largely as it was left in the 1940s.
Our thanks to Professor Edward Davies, University of Cambridge, for offering us this wonderful and rare opportunity.
For those who missed it, we will try to organise another tour in the future, with priority spaces offered to those on the waiting list from April.
Here are some photographs courtesy of Roy Hilsley and David Humber.
