Trout at The Trout Why the pub is called what it is! The Trout Inn (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6938018">SP4809 : The Trout Inn, Wolvercote</a>) is immediately adjacent to a branch of the River Thames (or Isis as it is known in this locality). There were eight good sized Brown Trout swimming in the river beside the outside seating area - this is one of them.

Little Godstow Bridge & Weir, Wolvercote Little Godstow Bridge is situated immediately to the south of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6938018">SP4809 : The Trout Inn, Wolvercote</a> and carries the lane to Wolvercote over a branch of the River Thames (or Isis) with a weir built into its arches dropping the river level by about 4' (1.2m) I would estimate. A navigable arm of the Thames flows under a second bridge (Godstow Bridge) immediately south of this one.

Restoration Church, Helen Road, Osney Only a few years ago this was the Elim Chapel <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6217755">SP4906 : Elim Chapel, Helen Road</a> but it was probably not built as a church, as the 1921 map labels it a 'hall'. The style looks to be late 19th / early 20th century.
