Royal Holloway College
Royal Holloway College
The west facade of this outstanding example of Victorian building. The college was commissioned by Thomas Holloway who had made a fortune selling patent medicines, to educate young ladies. The architect was William Crossland, a pupil of Sir George Gilbert Scott. The design was inspired by the Chateau de Chambord in the Loire Valley. The building took 6 years and £70,000 to complete. It was opened in 1886 by Queen Victoria who bestowed the Royal title on the college.
