Camera Obscurer

Third Wednesday of the month so its a trip into Oxford for the brew group.

I took a walk down from our venue to Catte Street to the Radcliffe Camera.

The Radcliffe Camera (Camera, meaning "room" in Italian), a large circular building with a lofty dome, was built by James Gibbs between 1737 and 1749 with money bequeathed by John Radcliffe (1650-1714), the famous physician, and was designed to house a library endowed by Radcliffe.

Radcliffe Camera is part of the The Bodleian Library, the main research library of the University of Oxford, is one of the oldest libraries in Europe, and in Britain is second in size only to the British Library with over 11 million items.
