Many pedestrians spill into the road at night creating a seemingly hostile envi- ronment for those simply wishing to go on their way, as well as causing risk to them- selves and others. There is also litter from the discarded packaging, and possibly the contents, of fast meals purchased late at night. The area has already witnessed con- siderable problems related to congestion and the effects of motor vehicles. Walton Street connects with Worcester Street, of- fering drivers an alternative route between Woodstock Road and Hythe Bridge Street, avoiding the traffic signals at St. Giles and Beaumont Street. Rail patronage is also expected to grow at Oxford station, and some of this growth will be from the new developments north of the city centre.

    Castaway oxfordtimes.co.uk Helen Peacocke with the copper kettles made by her father Photographs: Antony Moore 8 Oxfordshire Limited Edition April 2013 oxfordtimes.co.uk Castaway Sylvia Vetta talks to author, journalist and dog walker Helen Peacocke s a young woman, Helen Helen with Peacocke made a mental list of her border all the things she would like to collie do before she reached the age puppy A of 70. That landmark arrives Barnaby this month — so has she managed to get everything done? “There is still one thing left to do,” Helen revealed. “I want to do a parachute jump from a plane.” This month’s castaway on our desert island, Helen will be well known to regular readers of The Oxford Times as she has written for the newspaper almost every week for 23 years. Working for the newspaper also helped her achieve many of her ambitions — including drinking vintage champagne while soaring above the countryside in a hot air balloon. All in the name of science you understand. But Helen had lived several lives before she sat at her desk at the newspaper’s office in Osney Mead. She was born at the Acland Hospital, Oxford, on March 30, 1943, and brought up in Eynsham. Indeed Helen Richards, as she then was, came from an Oxfordshire family that would not seem out of place in Lark Rise to Candleford. Her grandfather (Helen cannot remember his name) was blacksmith in Burford, and her father, Alfred Harper Richards (better known as Jim. also had metalworking skills. Standing in the open fireplace of Helen’s charming cottage in Eynsham are a set of gleaming copper kettles made by her father, He was obviously a fine craftsman because the spouts are slender and elegant — no mean achievement.

  • Sir William Herschel: the Originator of Fingerprinting and Oxford All-Rounder
    NOTES Archaeological Work in Oxford City, 2009 It has been a productive few years for archaeology in Oxford. In 2008, for example, our understanding of the Prehistoric landscape between the Cherwell and Thames rivers was transformed by the discovery of a substantial ‘henge’ monument between St Giles and Parks Road. This note summarizes findings from some of the most important work carried out in 2009. It includes the major investigation at the former Radcliffe Infirmary site, which has provided further evidence of the extensive Prehistoric ritual and funerary complex on the second gravel terrace. A selection of other, smaller projects which have produced new insights and posed new questions about the city and its environs are also mentioned. SELECTED PROJECTS Radcliffe Observatory Quarter Large-scale redevelopment at the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ) is currently underway to provide new accommodation for a number of university departments. The archaeological potential of the 3.7-hectare site, located between Walton Street and the Woodstock Road, was previously indicated by stray finds suggesting nearby Saxon activity. It was also of interest because of a twelfth-century reference to a ‘croft of the three barrows’ located north of Little Clarendon Street. Evaluation trenching by Museum of London Archaeology began in February, following an unsuccessful attempt at radar surveying. Remarkably, the trenching confirmed the presence of three truncated ring ditches, presumed to be former barrows. It also identified evidence for Saxon settlement in the form of a sunken floored building close to the Walton Street frontage. Finds included bun-shaped loom weights and a sixth-century decorated pottery sherd.
