The Thame flooded the road under the railway bridge in Witton in about '52/3. We kids heard about it and all went off to have a look, putting on our Wellies. Nothing could pass and the police gave us athe thumbs down when we wanted a paddle.
Which bridge in Hamstead is new? I know the canal bridge, I was born almost under it, and the railway road bridge near the Beaufort but I can't think of another.
(Phil, you must have enjoyed being at Magdalene, it's almost like stepping back into a different world behind some of the college doors. Imagine a drinks party on a lovely summer evening, in the Master's garden.)
