I'd like to see a very old (early 20C or 19C) photograph of this bridge. The trees then might well have been fewer and smaller and the whole scene less picturesque.
I have seen one and it was a pretty desolate spot, known as Louse Lock.
I've also seen a photograph looking straight across to St Barnabas from the station!
I passed through Oxford on the train in 1967, on route to Shropshire, little knowing that I was passing the location of my later life. If only I had taken more notice as I looked out of the window!

2. No trees then but no ugly block of flats either. Perhaps the halcyon days were between then and now.
