Still floods on Abingdon Road!! Tescos is where the Fox and Hounds sign is. This area is completely packed with houses, and it's a main road now. It's strange seeing it like this.

Great photos. Terrible music.

The thumbnail for this video is a photo from 1930, not 1894, it seems. Misleading thumbnails are a bad idea.

Just a word to all concerned, and firstly the uploader. I am in no way trying to pirate
your work but merely enhance it with modern references. To those that watch, well,
do please appreciate the uploaders work for they have shown you the impossible!
I am from Oxford, I am an x BBC Researcher, and so have married my experience
here to further everyone's enjoyment.
I was there... in a number of the shops that then existed but are no more, and can
relate that shoplifting as an example was a then familiar event; all-too-often (Yes!).
I used to be a tour guide so have a slight ken of the place. Did anywhere, for example,
have rubber bricks, as Cornmarket did at one time, to stop the clatter of horses hooves
from disrupting the concentration of the students during their studies? One of a million
details, and many forgotten.
I wish that I should write a book, but then, any nib loses its point with age. Regs. Mark.

I am Oxford born and bred and thought those photos fascinating.Just a comment on the rubber bricks of Corn market.These were laid down in the late 1930s to deaden the sound of motor traffic,not horses hooves.They were replaced in the mid 1950s as the rubber surface became dangerous slippery when wet.
