    Odd that it's standing there on its own...but intriguing!

    No. 54, Banbury Road, North Oxford. "Laleham", today known as Wycliffe Hall, seen from west. Built in 1866, architect: J. Gibbs, grade II listed. This house was built for Thomas Arnold the Younger and his family, who offered tutorials there, including accomodation for his pupils at Laleham. See also the south east view of the same building in this album. The impressive entrance gate is no more directly visible today, since a dining hall (now used as a lecture room) was built in front of the fassade. The modest doorway at the north (left) side would probably lead to the student rooms. The building in the background on the right is No. 1 Norham Gardens, with its characteristic chimney in white framework. The house in the background on the left would probably be (todays) No. 4 Bradmore Road. It's still scaffolded, thus, considering the lease dates, this photograph should have been taken between 1870 and 1872. On closer inspection, people can be found in some photographs of this collection, who are watching the scenery from inside. In this picture, someone (perhaps a member of the household staff) is looking out of the basement window left of the entrance. Sources: - T. Hinchcliffe: North Oxford (Yale Univ. Press) - Oxfordshire Buildings Index, found at Oxfordshire Councils' web site - Town Plan of Oxford XXXIII.15.2 (1876), National Library of Scotland.
