This blue commemorative plaque records: One bright summers morning in 1969, David Selway and I went to visit David Stogdale who had just gone up to Oxford. We parked Selway's "souped up" Ford Anglia (1650cc with twin DCOE Webber carburettors!) at the west end of Merton Street, opposite Corpus Christi, and went in to see Stogdale for coffee, emerging two hours later to find that during the while, yellow lines had been painted along Merton Street on both sides, but avoiding the car. The city of Oxford had thus been covered with yellow lines such that parking was no longer possible at will... except for us, as only we knew the whereabouts of the only free parking space in the city centre. We made use of it for months, until such time as the authorities caught up with us. Recorded plaque organisation: Local Historical Society.
