Clarendon Building & Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford

Clarendon Building & Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford
Mick has said this shot includes my signature 'red'. That is a much appreciated comment, Mick :-)

Mick also suggests I could link this to “Red” by Daniel Merriweather. I have to admit to never having heard of Daniel but on the first hearing this is a very good song and an excellent recording :-)

So, added to 'Soundtrack to Life' almost immediately :-)

The Clarendon Building is on the right.
t'other building is the Sheldonian Theatre.

From Wikipedia -
“The Clarendon Building is a landmark Grade I listed building in Oxford, England, owned by the University of Oxford. It was built between 1711 and 1715 to house the Oxford University Press. It stands in the centre of the city in Broad Street, near the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre. It was vacated by the Press in the early nineteenth century, and used by the university for administrative purposes. In 1975 it was handed over to the Bodleian Library, and now provides office and meeting space for senior members of staff.”

From Wikipedia -
“The Sheldonian Theatre, located in Oxford, England, was built from 1664 to 1668 after a design by Christopher Wren for the University of Oxford. The building is named after Gilbert Sheldon, Chancellor of the University at the time and the project's main financial backer. It is used for music concerts, lectures and University ceremonies, but not for drama.”

It is indeed, Maurice :-). I absolutely recommend visiting Oxford. I have been visiting on a much more regular basis during the last 4 years or so and I still feel I am only just scratching the surface :-)
