The Headington shark celebrates its 25th anniversary this month.
Over a quarter of a century it has become an alternative Oxford icon.
In a city with a rich architectural history, the shark is proof it is still possible for every generation to add its own chapter.
While it is vital to protect our heritage, it is equally important not to be suffocated by it.
