St Edward's School. Perhaps Douglas Bader was there, slaving over his Latin grammar at the moment this photo was taken....

To the left of St Edwards school can be seen a rectangular open space. This is what is now Alexandra Park grass tennis courts. I think I can make out tennis courts in the photograph.

Dear Brainier and Earthenware,



That’s great; we’ve reviewed your comments and thanks to your help we can update the catalogue. The revised record will appear here in due course. Hope you have the same success solving some of our other mysteries!

St. Edward's School, Oxford, from the northwest. Woodstock Road (foreground), Banbury Road (middle ground). NGR is correct.

This photograph is looking South East from a vantage point south of Wolvercote near Oxford. In the centre right is St. Edwards School (the quad is visible with the cross pathways in the grass and a circle in centre). The school fronts to Woodstock Road in Oxford, and the Banbury Road is the main road further back. Current view would be https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=51.776982,-1.268749&spn=0.005377,0.013937&hnear=Oxford+OX2+7TQ,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=17
