Image description

Grubb Parsons of Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne made an outstanding contribution to the development of astronomical instrumentation and lead the post war renaissance in telescope making. The company was celebrated for high quality reflecting telescopes which were in use many observatories worldwide. The company active at Heaton since 1925 built as its final piece the remarkable 4.2M William Herschel telescope at Mount Palma Observatory in the Canary Isles in 1987. Photograph taken in 1962 for Engineering magazine by Walter Nurnberg (1907-1991) who transformed industrial photography after WWII using film studio lighting techniques.
