Oxford Daily Photos - Victoria Fountain

 








A public fountain, opened in 1899by Princess Louise, daughter of  Queen Victoria.  This was intended as a drinking fountain, but it has long since run dry.  Used to be popular with mendicant alcoholics, but after they built the roundabout it has become a little less accessible, and tends to be more seen than used.

I am trying to prise myself out of the house at least once a day, so hopefully these photos will be a regular occurrence.  At least they give me a reason to venture out!
