Plenty of water under the bridge at Magdalen
READER Peter Johnson sent us a drawing of what Magdalen Bridge in Oxford looked like in 1772 (Memory Lane, June 18).
Now Elizabeth Brandon, of Nunnery Close, Oxford, has sent in a picture of how it appeared in 1813.
The picture, left, is entitled Entrance to Oxford from London Road.
A cartload of hay or muck appears in the foreground, while what looks like a flock of sheep is seen nearer the famous tower of Magdalen College.
