Some of the views from around Oxford (pictures borrowed as mine all had people who don't want their pics used). Didn't get to explore Oxford as much as possible this time because I was really there to see family. Oxford is a huge city and much of it is composed of buildings from various different historical periods of England's history - this means there are a lot of very different building styles that quite literally give the city a visible architecture history; having gothic architecture in the same street as early Edwardian and Victorian buildings. Which was quite interesting to see. A lot of the building are college related as Oxford is historically an university city, extending back to the first universities in England a loooong time ago Picture really don't give it justice.

| The Covered Market on the left, sadly hidden by it's modern stalls - it is really an historical building. Honest. And On the right is Cornmarket street, the main shopping district for Oxford |
