Maltby's bindery in St Michael's Street

The first building has been refurbished (and its asbestos roof replaced) and the pavement in front widened.

The second building is now a "bike" shop. Pity you or I didn't get a shot of it before the boards went up. Neither building, at least, has been demolished or radically altered.

Thanks to Google Instant Streetview, one can explore Oxford without leaving the comfort of one's chair. One doesn't get any pictures though.

The whole thing is a bike shop, by the looks of it, and I don't notice any pavement widening.

I was referring to the Green Street building. That's where the pavement's been widened.

I don't notice any pavement widening there either. Why would they want to widen the pavement on a quiet little back street with little footfall?

Sorry - optical illusion. Looking from another POV I can see that it hasn't been widened.
