Good for you, have you a particular reason for this opinion?

Great memories

Interesting response, thanks. I wonder if the owner of Heading House, Wootten-Wootten, tried to have the right of way removed, was refused and therefore buried it??

That is a possibility.During the housing boom immediately following WW2, many Public Footpaths were ignored and built over. I know of one, in the Wirral Peninsula where a developer planned to build a housing estate. However, the pathway, known by the local community as' The Monks Path ' brought on the developer heavy historical evidence, a trackway originating at the monastery of Jarrow, and through the Wirral, connecting it to the destination of Holy Isle,Anglesy, then ship to Ireland. My last visit was in the 1980`s and within the Roman grid plan of roads, there runs diagonally one road, which follows the Monks Path, on to Llandican Lane ( note the Welsh spelling ) then on to a crossing point on the River Dee !!!!!!!!!! @@RobsOxford

Really glad that you both enjoyed it

Thank you Lillian

Thank you Jeffrey for your encouraging comment

I do so agree about Burges work. Some say it is over the top but in some ways it is at the top.

Wish that I could have featured the swans

Me too

Belated thanks for your appreciative comments.

It is still there but the music has moved away. Still a great scene in Oxford. Search for Daily Information for gigs

Thank you Paseos

Hmm. I got an MSc from Essex Uni myself, but I still admire Oxford's history, buildings, etc

What a wonderful response to my video Rod. Thank you.

Thanks Felis. We live and learn.

Me too

I know and apologise to all. A before E except in the sea

Well said Kerry. I enjoyed making the bike ride footage.

You are so right. No idea why I confused the two dates. Have now added a correction to the video. Thank you for spotting this.

Thanks Marc

True and nearly all of them were from that ear

Hertford.became a college relatively recently though there were antecedents of course

I am a great admirer of Campion Hall. Please forgive me for not including it in the video. It is a permanent private hall and as such is not recognised as a college of Oxford.

A pleasure

Sorry, I have been neglectful in replying to comments, but now trying to make ammends

Thanks for your comment. I start most of my tours outside Balliol

Because he wasn't small minded, and they were brave Englishmen killed with the approval of the pope.

Good point

Why not indeed!

Yes, great pub and beer. I'm due to do the Rose and Crown next but hopefully the Blenheim after that. Would you like to do an interview on why i'ts your favourite then? Plse reply to [email protected]

Brave you! I would love to include your adventure but cannot modify videos once published on KZbin. You have delete the current one and start from scratch. Maybe I'll do a follow up some time. Do you have any photos?

@@RobsOxford no photos, unfortunately, but lots of memories between those of us who navigated the stream. One in particular - we hired canoes at Folly Bridge and headed off upstream. But we returned to Folly Bridge from downstream. No-one noticed 😀

@@paulbutler9731 Hà, thats an amusing tale. Can you recall how you got in at the upstream end. Almost impossible with a canoe nowadays.

@@TheRobWaltersShow The entrance was open in those days. We just lowered the canoes down to the water and away we went. A lot easier than walking, like in the video you referred to. A friend waited at the Ch Ch Memorial Gardens and he could hear us talking long before we appeared.

You are weloome Mark

I Rob.i lived in number 7 chapel place, Paradise Square and went in that tunnel in a tin bath with a mate that lived in Paradise Square ( John Dawson nick name Dobby my nickname was Wally (Ian Walton)

Thanks Robin. It is my best performer yet at launch.

Me! There's a very similar, brick-lined culvert which carries the River Lavant beneath the centre of Chichester in West Sussex! It's a fascinating explore and easily done in Summer when the river completely dries up!

Thanks yes I am well aware of them, especially Teddy Hall but could not include it because it did not become a college until the 20th C

Yes, it's very special

i think most of youtube could do with a bit less energy wot wot
