More about this scene
W Fountain & Son, corn, coal and seed merchants, and the Cherry Restaurant and Guest House (right) occupy a very fine but much altered mid 16th-century building: a former courtyard house named Walters, for nearly 350 years it was owned by Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In the mid 19th century the right- hand side housed the Mechanics Institute, where Charles Kingsley, the author and nationally known supporter of social reform, gave reading and writing lessons for 2d a week.
