Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory
From Bidston Observatory
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL) stood to the North of the site, eclipsing Bidston Observatory in height. Although work there was considered to be at the forefront of progress in Oceanography for some, the building itself was an eyesore to others; built in 1975, POL was demolished in 2013.
POL, which then became National Oceanographic Centre (NOC), is now based in Brownlow Street, Liverpool, England.
NOC was the product of POLs merger, in April 2010, with the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS). More on POL here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proudman_Oceanographic_Laboratory
