Old & new in Oxford

Walked round the buildings the site of what was the Radcliffe Infirmary. The Radcliffe Observatory is on one corner of the site and has the Mathematical Institute, Humanities building and Somerville college student accommodation on other sides. There is still building going on, so a visit when the whole site has been completed and landscaped will be fascinating. Met an lady of 80 sitting on a bench there who worked in the Infirmary, moved to the then new John Radcliffe hospital and 'retired' to be a cleaner in one of the colleges, where she is still working. Fascinating conversation.
