Art Deco Oxford (i)
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Trips at 20:44 on 24 April 2012
I hadn’t researched Oxford much before going there. I assumed it would be a bit like Cambridge with some Art Deco in the town centre but I wasn’t expecting to see something stunning like this in amongst all the mediƦval stuff in the University part of town.
It was obviously being gutted/refurbished – the insides were all gone and turned into a building site; as witnessed by the crane. It looked even better from the corner!
I have since discovered it’s the New Bodleian Library.
More conventional deco was to be found in the shopping areas.
This is the New Theatre.
The facade extends along the street.
There was this set of shops
I wasn’t quite sure whether the Job Centre was deco or not. It has a nice doorway whatever.
