The space seen here shows the point at which it emerged from the road into the Palace. The vaulted brick passages under the road survive and can be visited as part of a guided group. text/html 2013-06-15T17:27:32GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.167483 -0.375160 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3511206 text/html 2013-06-15T17:23:51GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.169457 -0.374805 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3511196 The track swings gradually left (northwards) and climbs to the National Trust's Windy Gap car park. text/html 2013-06-15T17:20:39GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.455538 -0.019935 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3511191 text/html 2013-06-11T00:06:23GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.163267 -0.375880 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3504270 text/html 2013-06-11T00:04:31GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.161309 -0.377379 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3504269 text/html 2013-06-10T00:28:08GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.162641 -0.376188 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3502694 text/html 2013-06-10T00:25:28GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.165836 -0.386088 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3502691 text/html 2013-06-09T00:41:01GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.732133 -1.263214 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3500772 text/html 2013-06-09T00:38:15GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.736424 -1.259234 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3500771 In the distance, South Hinksey village. text/html 2013-06-08T16:50:53GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.555871 -0.280721 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3499981 During the years following the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, when English football clubs were banned from European competition, the Football Association instituted the Full Members' Cup for First and Second Division sides in an attempt to fill the gap in the timetable. Top-flight clubs failed to take it very seriously (and it did not set fans alight with excitement, either), with the result that the second final, in 1987, was contested between Charlton Athletic (perennial First Division escapologists at that time) and Blackburn Rovers (Second Division and, before Jack Walker's cash injection, showing no signs of going further). Blackburn Rovers won a poor game 1-0 and for quite some time I regarded that as the highlight of my many years as a Rovers fan. Years later I worked with a Charlton fan who had been in the other end on that day and remembered it as one of the worst of his football-supporting career. This is the Blackburn Rovers end before kickoff. Notable in the foreground, the steel cage and spikes to keep supporters in their seats and off the pitch: not long after this the Hillsborough disaster was to illustrate quite how dangerous this was, after which the fences came down immediately. Notice also the way that stewarding in those days was carried out by uniformed police rather than stewards in high-visibility jackets: a more confrontational attitude ruled football in those days. text/html 2013-06-08T14:59:53GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.737105 -1.253286 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3499732 The front of the house is seen in [[3499714]]. text/html 2013-06-08T14:54:59GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/48366 Christopher Hilton 51.737015 -1.253287 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3499714 A student shared house (taken the day before I moved out of it).

Beyond it, the red-brick village hall.
