carfax tower

            Delivery motorbikes, guided tours and tourists, all mingling near Carfax Tower, Oxford.

The Carfax tower is all that remains of the 12th century St Martin’s Church, the official city church of Oxford from 1122. In 1896, the main part of the church was demolished to make more room for traffic in the area. 
Carfax is the junction of St Aldate's (south), Cornmarket Street (north), Queen Street (west) and the High Street (east) in Oxford, England. It is considered to be the centre of the city. The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". 
The tower is 74 feet tall and no building in central Oxford may be constructed higher than it. As such, it’s possible to climb the 99 steps to the top of the tower for an amazing view over the Oxford skyline. It is Grade II listed.

The building to the right of Carfax Tower houses HSBC. This present building was built in 1896/7 and is owned by Oxford City Council. It was designed by Henry Thomas Hare and is Grade II listed.
