Photo Recap: Oxford streets.

The area of East Oxford reminded me of parts of Goulburn: cold with small working-class buildings of a certain age, frozen gardens, but very narrow streets. I seem not to have taken any photos which is a shame.

We walked into the central area along the road the next morning. Oxford has a lot of bicycles. So mane. This is the main commute route for students, so look at all the bikes.

Then everywhere you go there are bikes leaning against fences or parked in giant racks. This is part of the Bodleian I think.

The outside of a college on Broad Street.

There must have been thousands of them. This is Broad street, containing some bike racks, an Oxfam shop where I bought a cardigan, the Bodleian Library at the other end, and that light patch of road near the cafe chairs is where Latimer and Ridley were burned.

Which looks like this.

I loved the streets of Oxford, they were very interesting to walk around. I'm a big fan of a thing called the Small Streets or Walkable Streets movement, and places which were built before cars are wonderful for walking. There are streets that are charming:

Bustling shopping streets:

And streets that were strangely deserted. You walk up some tiny lane and find a whole cobbled street being hardly used at all. Wedding photo paradise.
