Blackhall Road, Oxford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackhall Road is a road running between Keble Road to the north and Museum Road to the south in central Oxford, England.
Probably its most notable feature is what is one of the longest lasting and still extant pieces of outdoor graffiti in Oxford. On a brick wall forming part of the rear of Keble College, opposite the Mathematical Institute building, are two large dinosaurs in white and blue paint. The caption "REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAUR!" is next to the white dinosaur. By the blue dinosaur is a reposte "I DID, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME". Close by in Parks Road is the Oxford University Museum of Natural History where a number of fossilized dinosaur skeletons can be seen.
Also on the entire east side of the road are a number of 20th-century buildings in Keble College. At the southern on the west side are houses owned by St John's College.
