And we abroad to Marrowbone, and there walked in the garden, the first time I ever was there, and a pretty place it is.”
Samuel Pepys, 7 May 1668
The Energy Institute (EI) is located in an attractive Grade II listed Georgian building, once home to the famous Victorian architect Sir Alfred Waterhouse. Sir Alfred Waterhouse set up his home and architectural practice here at 61 New Cavendish Street in 1865. Two of Waterhouse’s most famous buildings are Manchester Town Hall and The Natural History Museum, dubbed ‘a cathedral of nature’.
