Good to see Robert Morris gets a mention in your blog. He financed the War of Independence with his fortune. Signed the Declaration of Independence. And formed the Bank of America. He did well for a Local - born a mile from my own Birthplace - here in Liverpool UK

The bank that Morris was associated with was the Bank of North America. Bank of America originated in the early 20th c. in California. Poor old Morris spent several of his last years in debtors' prison and was buried in his brother-in-law's family plot without ceremony. Wikipedia: "Robert Morris holds the curious distinction as the only Founding Father whose house is a national memorial, but his life is not interpreted at the site."

That's either a fearsome or a friendly face staring down from the Colleges of Oxford University. Marilyn Jones collected a few of these grotesques that decorate the walls.

Having visited both Oxford and Cambridge, I much prefer Oxford, as a tourist and as a Morse/Lewis/Hathaway fan

Your scenes of Broad Street are very familiar to me, my address when I visit Oxford. The photo at top shows the buildings that were the view from my top-floor window in May, the one near the bottom the whole block with my hotel, The Buttery, just past the orange buildings. And the familiar bicycle scene at the station. One of my favorite places and why I return to that street as often as I can manage. Very nice, thanks.

Great pictures of Oxford. We went to Oxford for a day on our trip to England 3 years ago. A wonderful city to wander around in. We had dinner at the Crown pub, supposedly a place Shakespeare would stay at on trips between London and Stratford. Thanks for the memories.

What an amazing visit! I spent a day in Oxford once, I thought, but now it appears I missed almost everything but Blackwell's...

My thanks also for a great post. For a few years I used to go to Oxford twice a year to give a course. Once this was held at Wadham College, and I enclose a few pictures.
