Folly Bridge ? You're havin' a laugh ! Where's Christchurch Meadows, the colleges, anything recognisable as Oxford ?
ReplyDeleteTo see the rest of Oxford, some 'recognisable' spots, please click on the link "Folly Bridge and environs, Oxford 1932", and then on 'Nearby images' on the left and you will find what you are looking for...
ReplyDeleteActually I think I’ve got it now, the view is looking down stream from Folly Bridge, so Christ Church meadows are top right, the line of trees bordering the meadows at the top is the Cherwell, you can make out both the old course and the New Cut of the Cher, opposite the New Cut the solitary building on the South Side of the river is the OUBC boathouse and head quarters, and top of the picture is the dog’s leg in the river I’ve always understood to be ‘The Gut’. Donnington Bridge must be just out of frame at the very top.
ReplyDeleteWhen I learned to row, in the ‘70s, there was still at least one of the college barges quietly rotting away just below Donnington Bridge (and we had wooden boats and blades !)
Apologies for suggesting that HTBS could possibly misattribute a photo !
