Osney Backwater
The Thames Navigation is very narrow going by Osney. In fact some people ask if it's the Oxford Canal, which actually starts a short way upstream.
The reason for this is that the Thames itself divides up among a number of backwaters, mill streams and side channels on its way through Oxford.
This is one of those channels, quite a short one in this case. It rejoins the Thames below Osney Lock via the Environment Agency boatyard which is just behind me.
Stop me if you've heard this before, but the suffix "ey" in a place name denotes that it is, or was, an island. So round here we have Osney, Binsey, Botley, Hinksey and so forth.
The area is at risk from floods.

Doyley Road
In an area of short streets, this has got to be one of the shortest. 4 houses, I think.

The old Oselli building
When Oselli got bigger they had this place built but then the MD sold it off and things took a down turn so they moved again.

Cut to the weir.
This cutting leads to a weir feeding the pool on the other side where the Thames carries on.

To here
I think this is the last place Oselli went before going bust and being bought up again. They now work out of Witney. http://www.oselli.com/about

The river Thames at Osney
Osney Island is a damp area of land between the river and a smaller backwater, much subject to flooding. What once were cheaply-built workers' terraced houses are now highly-desirable bijou residences. Narrowboats such as the one seen here can be hired for use on the river and the canal a short distance away.
