Scientific paper

The 98-inch Isaac Newton Telescope was the largest telescope ever to be sited in the British Isles, but it was moved to La Palma in the Canary Islands after only twelve years at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Herstmonceux, Sussex where observing conditions were not good enough for such a large instrument to be effective. This paper examines why the telescope took twenty-one years to build and why it came to be erected at Herstmonceux.
