It may interest readers to know that the radiotherapy building {the long one with five skylights} was opened by Lord Montgomery. I was fortunate enough to converse with him on that occasion.

The original structural engineers for the Thomas Kemp Tower were W S Atkins of Epsom. The record drawings show that it was designed in 1964 and 1965, with work starting shortly after. The photograph shows the construction of the substantial reinforced concrete frame.
