Here is the site where “Dames Delight” used to be. A golden country of my youth. The entrance walkway from the gravelled path through Mesopotamia comes in obliquely up to the array of rollers, over which you had to step, and the entrance to the bathing place must have been where the nice green (slightly left-of-centre) Spring foliage now grows, and the bathing-place’s green-painted corrugated-iron enclosure used to obscure the view beyond the weir. The bank of the Cherwell from which you bathed was the (now visible) one on the far (east or Marston) side of the river, which here appears to be relative ‘virgin’ river bank. Parsons Pleasure was in the direction away from the camera, up and over the rollers, and turn left (in your punt - less any ladies). Parsons Pleasure is perhaps still there (as it still appears on maps) but Dames Delight ceased to operate many years ago, I believe, as indeed this picture bears witness. The simple pleasures of post-war Oxford have long-since been superseded……Ditto at Wolvercot bathing place, near Godstow, on Port Meadow, on the Thames. More about that in due course.(pba.5.2.16.@NZ).
