    North Lodge of the University Parks, North Oxford, viewed from south. Built in 1862 by H. Wilkinson Moore. Grade II listed. Located at the northern gate of University Parks, where Banbury Road, Norham Gardens and Parks Road meet. This would have been a nice starting point for a walkabout to most of the North Oxford buildings shown in the collection of A. D. White Architectural Photographs. To the right, it's just a few steps to Wycliffe Hall at No. 54 Banbury Road, formerly named Laleham, photographed in this album from the west and southeast. Further northwards on Banbury Road, William Wilkinson built No. 60, "Shrublands", now part of Kellogg College. Even further to the right is Norham Gardens, with large residential villas, many of them later converted for accommodation or for institutional use, including No. 3 Norham Gardens shown in this album. Straight across the street were No. 31 Banbury Road, "The Firs" and the impressive "Springfield" villa at No. 33, both of them cornerstones of the site of St. Anne's College, today you find two mid-century student residences there instead. Nearby Bevington Road would pass you to some beautiful villas on Woodstock Road, but unfortunately, neither Nos. 113 and 115 nor the Italianate Walton Manor House at No. 141 survived the redevelopment era of the 1960s. Turn to the left from here and follow University Walk in south direction towards Keble College. On this section of Parks Road, there was a line of impressive Victorian houses at that time, including Nos. 17-18 (South & North Elms), now displaced by the brutalistic Holder building. But Nos. 12-13 (South & North Grove) and 14-15 (East View) still provide a glimpse of that era. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - A.

Nineteenth-century House

    No. 33 Banbury Road, North Oxford. Built in 1865-67, architect: Charles Edward Bruton. One more photograph of "Springfield", made a few years earlier than the other image in this collection. The house in the background on the right would be No. 3 Bevington Road, leased in 1868, which was later aquired by St. Anne's in 1953. Houses No. 1 and 2 (leased in 1869) are not built yet, thus we could assume this photograph to be taken around 1868, not long after Springfield itself was completed. The household staff of Springfield seems to be quite interested into what's happening outside. If you look at the basement on the right side (which is likely to be the kitchen) you can see the housekeeper standing there and keeping an eye on the scene.
