Exploring Banbury & surrounding areas. Finding out the where, what, who, & how of this historic market town in North Oxfordshire.
And speaking of the ramps, it's one of @modparlphotos.bsky.social's favourite places so when I had a chance to grab this shot of him grabbing his shot - well, I couldn't resist. So a photo of a photographer at work for #photographymonth as well.

Everyone knows the nursery rhyme, "Ride a Cock Horse, to Banbury Cross, to see a Fine Lady upon a white horse", but there's massess of history to the little piece of doggerel.

@thebanburian.bsky.social breaks down some of the history here: thebanburian.com/whos-riding-...
Who’s Riding to Which Cross? - The Banburian
Most people agree “Banbury Cross” refers to the High Cross as it was the most centrally located but no one is sure - and there are lots of questions.
