Editorial

The editor would like to

take this opportunity of the

first editorial to thank

everyone who helped re launch the

Echo, especially the production

team and within that team

especially Denis Noble who

as well as being a supportive

and constructive critic also

persuaded the advert isers to

finance us again and collectedthe money.

To those people who failed to

have a copy last time my

apologies and it won't happen

again, I hope, and if it does

please phone Robin Whitworth,

who will be pleased to deal

with it for you.

CHANGES ALONG THE CANAL

John Power, one of our three

West Ward City Councillors is

presently engaged on trying to

give the canal a face lift.

The patio or canal garden in

Mount Place and the bridge from

there now come under the Parks

Department who have assumed

responsibility for maintenance.

There is another bridge projected

to lead from nearer town to join

ideas or objections totheplansfor the canal.

THE OPENING OF THE NEW LINE AT

OXFORD

Just to the west of the Oxfordcanal and the old river is the oldtrackbed of the former BucksRailway, later the London and NorthEastern Railway. Started in theearly 18505 it was to provide a

rival route to London via Bletchleyand Euston. One Of the first

trains to leave the new Rewley Roadstation was on the 26th May, 1851and was a special for the Great

Exhibition in Hyde Park; it hadten coaches and some four hundredpassengers . Special gratuitous

parcels were offered to the workmenwho had built the new line. Thetrain left at 7.30 a.m., arrived

at Bletchley some forty minutes

later and got to Euston at 9.20 a.m.As well as railwaymen a large

number from the Clarendon Press andthree local newspapers made the

journey . The new railway and the

Clarendon Press were to play an

important part in the development

Of Jericho in the years to come.

On the same day the customarythe towpath near Worcester College. banquet was held at the Star HotelThis bridge would necessitate

another path, this time cc ncrete,

on our side of the canal

leading behind Whitworth Place

and through the boat yards.

The area of waste ground

between the part of river that

runs past Lucy's to join the

part near the station has been

inc luded in the environmental

improvement scheme run by the

City and Mr. Power hopes it will

be turned into a landscaped parkwith benches. A nice place to

sit and drink one's cider.

Lastly the towpath from

Jericho to town (and the rest of

the towpath?) . This path which

it is true deteriorates during

Winter to spread mud over the

bridges and patio is due to becleared up by the City Engineer

in the near future. Will it be

gravel we wonder. Cement hardly

seems suitable. Perhaps thenettles could be cut back and thepotholes filled in and a fine

gravel track laid down.

Mr. Power can be contactedat the Town Hall by anyone with

opening address thanking the

university for their acquiescence

in allowing the new line to come

to Oxford.

Not all were pleased though

at the arrival of the railway as

the Oxford canal company were

forced to reduce their tolls for

carrying coal. Sir Harry made a

wry comparison when he compared

the charges on that commodity inthe locality as being 29/6d

per ton by canal and 16/-

(50p) per ton by the new railway;

this was the beginning of the

decline for most canal networks

over the years to come.

About a mile from the new

accidents when a passenger train

Wolvercote end of the line;

however ,this must be another story.

WHAT A WASTE

For a year 0K more L lie

Oxford City Council very

sensibly alid helpfully vrovided

a Rubbisii Disposal Skip al:

west end of Great Clarendon

Street every week-end.

Recently a few local

people and/or business firms?

abused this benefit by over-

filling the skip and leaving

therr rubbish on the ground

around it.

Why should Council workers

employed to remove skips be

expected to pick up rubbish

thrown at random on the ground?

The Council had no choicebut to discontinue this very

useful service. The it:ajority

have suffered because of the

thoughtlessness of a few.

It is sad that Jericho has

thus been revealed as unworthy

of this amenity that Che

Council had so, helpfuLLy

provided .

t.PAUL'SROJECV

The first of St. Paul's

I unchtirne concerts went well

both musically and gastro-

nornically.Seated on black.plastic chairs amid piles of

breeze block and patched plaster

on bare boards and cement-

encrusted tiles the audienceof 80 or so listened to

early 17th century harpsicord

music by Frescobaldi, Byrd,Tomkins and John Bull. Placed

in the old chancel RichardLeigh Harris and his harpsicord

occupied the only normal pact

of the building.

Before the recital guestswere entertained to lunch forfifty pence a head of hothomemade leek soup, brown bread

and cheese, salad and coffee.

The event and the two

fol lowing ones are beingorganised by Judith Ackvillthe versatile and charmingnew young administrator for theSt. Paul's project, who alsohelped the volunteers fromall over Oxford* wi10 saw tothe food and box office.
