A very busy city centre view in Oxford – a view north looking up Cornmarket Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, UK from near its junction with the High Street in 1960. At that time the street was very car-orientated and their appears to be a traffic jam with cars at a standstill. A policeman is in the centre of the road. Shoppers are in abundance too. Today the street has been largely pedestrianised – a vintage 1960s photograph.

It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
