It was a thrill for me to see the
Radcliffe Camera. Apparently Headington stone was used on the lower part of the building, while stone on the upper part was from Burford in the Cotswolds, which probably accounts for the more honeyish colour there.
The
Old Bank Hotel would have been my choice of places to stay if money was no object.
Hertford Bridge, commonly known as
The Bridge of Sighs, mentioned in the Small Faces' song Itchycoo Park, was another thrill for me to see. Singer Steve Marriott of that band died in Arkesden, Essex, which was a place I'd hoped to get to for family research purposes, but didn't.
Oxford's construction fences are a little classier than ours.
The
Macdonald Randolph Hotel probably would have been my second choice of places to stay in Oxford.
Now I was heading back toward Summertown.
Sadly, I never got to see Oxford in sunlight or nice light as shown in this postcard.
