The Meridian of course is not the Greenwich meridian. Ah - but if you go back to 1769 when the Transit of Venus was going to happen and as King George III you had your doubts about the clowns running Greenwich at the time, you built your own observatory and that then defined your meridian. Arguably Greenwich only came back to prominence when Victoria was back on the throne and Kew became a backwater..... |
