Looking east from Wentworth Road into Aldrich Road, Oxford
At virtually any time between December 1934 and 8th March 1959 this view wouldn't have been possible.

Blue plaque, Aldrich Road, Oxford
Generally, to get a blue plaque affixed to a house, the subject has to be (a) a person, (b) famous and (c) dead. In this case the main protagonists are people and aren't particularly famous although they are almost certainly dead; they certainly don't warrant a blue plaque. It is what they got up to that does. Read on to find out why.

Houses in Aldrich Road, Oxford
This is on the face of it an unremarkable view of a typical pre-war municipal housing development; a view that could be replicated just about anywhere in southern England. However, if I had been standing in the same spot at any time between late 1934 and early 1959 my view would have been blocked by a mini version of the Berlin Wall. The reasons for this are all to do the fear of people who are 'not quite our class darling'.

Junction of Wentworth Road and Aldrich Road, Oxford
I don't often replicate scenes that can be seen just as well on 'Streetview' but there are occasions where it is worth the effort. There is a reason why what appears to be the same road has two names and why the architectural style of the white house on left differs from the redbrick one on the right.
