Last October we reported that Oxford’s Antiques on High’s owner, antiquarian book dealer Tony Sloggett, wanted to retire and find a new owner for the antiques centre which has traded in the city for 20 years. The situation remains unchanged, however, and it is business as usual at the centre for now.
A record-breaking 27,000 people descended on Oxford on May 1 this year for the city’s annual spring celebrations, a tradition for 500 years.
Celebrations involving 150 street performers included Morris dancers and exultant crowds throughout the streets, wearing much foliage and ‘green man’ outfits associated with the first day of spring.
