Radcliffe Square is a square in central Oxford surrounded by historic Oxford University and college buildings. The square is cobbled, laid to grass surrounded by railings in the centre, and is pedestrianised.
The square is named after John Radcliffe, a student of the university who became doctor to the King, made a large fortune, and left a significant legacy to the University and his college (University College), which is nearby in the High Street to the south.
The centrepiece of the square is the circular and imposing Radcliffe Camera, a library paid for by John Radcliffe's legacy, built 1737–48. It is part of the Bodleian Library, the main building of which is situated immediately to the north of the square. The two are connected by an underground tunnel There used to be a small underground railway to transport books between the Radcliffe Camera and the main Bodleian site. To the west is Brasenose College, one of Oxford's older colleges. To the east is All Souls College.
At the southern side of the square is the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, with its tall spire. This is the official church of Oxford University and is where the Oxford Martyrs were tried for heresy. A good view of Radcliffe Square and the rest of central Oxford is available from the tower, which is open to the public.

Radcliffe Camera, Oxford.
I went on a day trip to Oxford on Friday. I had planned to stay there until after dark and get the last train home, however cancellations due to a signal failure meant I had to leave earlier than I had planned to and come home by coach.
As the sun set, the sky turned to beautiful shades of pink and gold. Unfortunately I only got to see it out of the window of the Oxford Airline coach as it made it's way down the M40. Thank you Network Rail.
A unidentified Class 504 EMU crosses Radcliffe Viaduct with the 19.40 Bury Interchange to Manchester Victoria service a few days before closure of the line as a heavy rail route. Conversion of the line to Manchester Metrolink Tramway was complete by April 1992.
* The original East Lancashire railway route opened in 1846 was via Clifton Junction to a point just North of here. The second part was opened in 1879, in order to connect the growing suburbs of Cheetham Hill, Prestwich and Whitefield. In 1872 the L&Y obtained an act to construct a new line from Manchester to the original ELR line at Radcliffe. Construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1879. Originally the line had only five intermediate stations at Crumpsall, Heaton Park, Prestwich, Whitefield and Radcliffe. Three more stations at Woodlands Road, Bowker Vale and Besses o' th' Barn were added later.

Another shot from our recent trip to Oxford. This time the Radcliffe Camera (also known as the Bodleian Library).
The Radcliffe Camera is the first round library which was built in 1748 and named after Dr John Radcliffe who left the money for its construction.
I particularly like the clouds that day.
Radcliffe Square is popular at lunchtime i catch so many people with their mobiles.I couldn't resist this one with her scuffed shoes and odd leg position, i had to make it a more dignified shot by darkening and contrasting a particular area, "Leave it unedited ? i couldn't possibly" just think of all the comments i would get!!
