 Oxford, St Edmund Hall 1890 (ref: 26939) |
Year: 1973
Edmund not Alban New Added 5 days ago
This photograph is of St Edmund Hall, affectionately known as 'Teddy Hall', which by common consent is the oldest seat of learning in the University of Oxford. Founded in the early 13th century by St Edmund of Abingdon, who lectured in the old church of St Peter in the East, which is now the college library. St Edmund later became Archbishop of Canterbury. Scholars of St Edmund Hall are renowned for their prowess on the sports field, on the river and in the bar. Some of us can also do joined up riting. Peter Britton (SEH 1973).

 Wheatley, Triangle Café c1960 (ref: W520018) |
Bridge Bungalow Cafe A memory of Wheatley, Oxfordshire We lived at the BBC for many years. Near to the bridge over the River Thame, next to the garage run by Harold Thomas and Jeff Lafford. I went to Thame Grammar School on the double decker blue bus. Dad was George Allen, Mum was Alice Allen and uncle Bill and Auntie Joan lived just up the road. We used to fish in the river and sometimes the A40 used to be flooded when the river overflowd. grandad Allen was head gardener at Shotover House and Grandad Day lived in Forest Hill. Roger Allen, Melbourne, Australia. rogerstallen@msn.com. Grandad used to drive the horse and cart along the almost deserted A40 from Shotover loaded with fruit and veg to Keenes in Iffley Road?

Growing up in 1950's Wheatley. A memory of Wheatley, Oxfordshire I can remember my early childhood days. We lived in The Avenue. All the fields at the back of us were open fields. It is all houses of course these days.(Elton Crescent, Miller Road etc). Early school days were having to walk to school at the infants school to be taught by Miss Flood or Miss Wren. Later on I attended primary school in Church Road. I used to work as a kid for Ted Turner and John West the butcher. I also did a paper round before school and remember vividly some really cold winter mornings waiting for Mr Bill Phipps to bring the papers in from Oxford. The summer days were a lot better, deliver the papers and then grab some drink, food and fishing rod to go down to the river. Here we could all fish and swim till dusk. Then walk home on our own without fear of predators. Those were the days eh!! One memory that will always stay with me is Mr Harris delivering the milk in his horse and cart up the Avenue which in those days was cobblestoned. His two horses knew where to stop and start of course. That never occurred to me in those days. My treat was to be able to stand in the cart and be in charge whilst the cart went up and down the Avenue. When it got back to No.6, Mum would be waiting for me. Of course to most people this would be no big deal but to a 4 year old kid it was magic. Last edited: 05/09/2007 11:41 by Bill Middleton |
