Aerial View of Winchester Science Centre

Winchester Science Centre (previously known as INTECH) is a hands-on, interactive, science and technology centre located in Morn Hill, just outside the city of Winchester in Hampshire, England. Opened in 2002 after major grants from amongst others the Millennium Commission, IBM, SEEDA and Hampshire County Council it replaced an existing facility in a more functional building in Winchester.

 

The centre houses over 100 activities, all of which link in with the National Curriculum for schools. During term time it is used mainly by local schools and days out, while at week ends and holidays it attracts a wider audience.

 

The dome is now a state-of-the-art digital planetarium seating 176.

 

The other large building on the left is the Holiday Inn Winchester. Holiday Inn is a British-owned American brand of hotels, and a subsidiary of InterContinental Hotels Group. Founded as a U.S. motel chain, it has grown to be one of the world's largest hotel chains, with 1,145 active hotels as of September 30, 2016. The hotel chain's headquarters are in Denham, Buckinghamshire.

 

At the far left is the Percy Hobbs Roundabout named after the nearby pub that is now a Neptune furniture store.

 

Along the top of the picture is the A31 which is a major trunk road in southern England that runs from Guildford in Surrey to Bere Regis in Dorset.
