Great posting! i used to live in Lime Walk, Headington, i had a house there for many years, before i moved here to Indonesia 17 yrs ago. Went back for a visit this year actually.. Talk about memory lane!
Great stuff. Lived in England (Upper Heyford) from 89 - 94 (I was just a teenager then)! Used to take the bus into Oxford many times. Thanks for posting!
Thank you mercer! I was stationed at Upper Heyford from Jan 85 unitil May 94 (2168 CS). My family & I went back in May 08 to visit relatives. Oxford hasn't changed much except for where traffic is allowed.
Were you living in Osler Road? (Where your film finished).
Except for traffic priorities in the city centre, the place is pretty much the same now.
Very interesting to see it 20 years ago.
That Martyrs' Memorial you filmed in two directions, (3.46 and 4.07), my uncle told me that during WW2 he and my dad would tell GIs that it was an underground cathedral, then leave them looking for the entrance.
Hi and thanks for your kind words about my video of Oxford. Actually, we lived just around the corner from Osler Rd on London Road in the flat that was over the butcher shop that is no longer there (replaced by an estate agent and 7 flats). We were back this spring for a visit & saw lots of changes, but it was still the Headington I remembered and where my wife was raised. Good one on the Martyr's Memorial, I wish I would've thought of that prank when I lived there!

Thanks for your kind comments. My wife was raised on Lime Walk, and as a matter of fact, we were married in the Methodist church on Lime Walk!
