    Nick, Thank you for your update. Four years ago when this tag was created it was under the management by Oxford City Council.

  • The Elephant House - Keble College, Andrew Healey wrote 11 years ago:
    I canneverrecall it being referred to as theElephant House. It's shape more resembles that of a dinosaur and as such is reputed to be behind the origins of the famous graffiti written on the adjacent wall during part of the elongated planning process for the Hayward and De Breyne quads.........these being the correct names of the buildings.
