‘Et in Arcadia Ego’ so evocative of Brideshead Revisited I half expect to see Charles and Sebastian walking arm in arm. Magical time to be living a comfortable and privileged life in Oxford but pretty rough and precarious for most people behind the scenes.

Very well presented, nice to see vintage cars in their prime - many Morrises, of course, a nice Vauxhall 30/98 at 1.15, a Riley Redwing (a real undergrad sporty car) at 2.52, and a RR Silver Ghost at 9.30.

Not the "dawn" of "The Motoring Age" - definitely into adulthood by then. The car had been around for some 30 years when this was filmed and the era of "mass production" was well under way. Eg - by 1926, 150,000 examples of the "Bullnose" Morris Oxford had been made.

Incredible to see, especially as someone born and raised there. It's so unchanged in many ways but still looks like another world. Thanks!

@@Peteroranje That was a long course then. 42 years learning before you could graduate. Most of them didn't look that old! 😂 A quick Google check shows that women took their exams in 1879 but were not 'admitted to the University' until 1920, i.e. were not awarded their degree until that time, they were, instead, given a 'Certificate of Competence' which was generally considered to be equivalent. The 1st British University Degrees awarded to women were by the University of London in 1878.

Nice Video 👍

thank you very much

Just think that was only over a hundred years ago! ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I lived in Oxford for 46 years so I know all of these streets. It’s fascinating seeing the buildings of which I’m so familiar. Not much has really changed apart from the cars! I don’t ever recall seeing a horse & cart though, that was a bit before my time! Thank you for this video, I found it wonderful to watch & reminisce 👍

Muito bonito, belo trabalho!! 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

did not take long for the racists to come out. This was a terrible time for the average person, children constantly hungry, living in squalor,, what on earth is wrong with you people

What wonderful footage - where are the sources of these century-old films - I'd be very pleased to know!

Wonderful! Like you were there.

It makes me said to see this once great country which we have now lost.

I am not sure we have progressed in the last 100 years. Well dressed, clean city, roads well maintained.

Wonderful and evocative. Surprising how much vehicular traffic - in one shot a traffic jam at Carfax - and so few horses. 'Oxford and its colleges' not 'Oxford and its Universities' in the description.

"You can see several scenes of Oxford and its Universities." Actually, you only see _one_ university. There are now several universities in Oxford but the others didn't exist then, and are anyway not in the central area of the city shown in the video. What we can see are several _colleges_ of the university, such as Balliol College, Trinity College, Christ Church, All Souls College, Oriel College, Merton College, New College, Magdalen College, Wadham College and one of Lady Margaret Hall, Somerville College, St Anne’s College, St Hilda’s College and St Hugh’s College. (Hat tip to Kit Sullivan for identifying them all in his invaluable comment.) Also several buildings and facilities belonging to the University, such as the Clarendon Building, the Sheldonian Theatre, the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, the Bodleian Library and the Botanical Garden. (Thanks, Kit!)

I was trying to work out the time of year. From some of the shadows it must have not been far from June 20 but although it was sunny it did not seem to be too hot. It could have been late May, but I would have expected to see more undergraduates with gowns. Life was so much more sedate; we have lost that for ever, however my grandmother who would have been about 17 when the Great War broke out, told me once that life had been so much less hurried and simpler before the first world war.

Thank you.

Outstanding job, Nass! Are you a boy or a girl? Just curious! 😉👍👍👍

Thx!! a man!! x)

The intermingling of cyclists, motorists and horse drawn vehicles...splendid!

Look how clean those streets are. Beautiful cars, buildings and people going about their business in relative peace. Fast forward 100 years- how times change
