What is now a beauty and nail bar, and a few years earlier a 'party shop' Image, occupies what was a cycle shop when I was a student in the 1980s. Note the name 'Lincoln House' above the door: since 1950 the upper storeys have been student accommodation for the college of the same name across the road. The building dates from 1939, architects J Hubert Worthington and Gilbert Gardner (the former being Slade Lecturer in architecture at Oxford University and responsible for several other buildings in the city).
