This was Coupland 1, first opened in 1900. Here Rutherford assembled a most distinguished team of Hans Geiger (1882-1945; from whose name comes the eponymous counter), Ernest Marsden (1889-1970), Henry Moseley (discoverer of atomic numbers), and many others. Visitors included Niels Bohr {LINK: Copen114}, Georg de Hevesy {LINK: Copen162}. Early students included James Chadwick (1891-1974) who would discover the neutron while at Cambridge {LINK: Cambridge162}. The view is east.
