Ridgeway Road, Roman?
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 10 Oct 2012
The course of the Roman road between Bicester and Dorchester has been lost and built over through this part of East Oxford. But by projecting the line from the known sections of road the likely course can be estimated, and it goes more or less along here. Entirely coincidental I'm sure, but why spoil a good story.
