Plater Drive, Oxford (UK)

I have come across a Plater Drive in Oxford, UK. From the pictures, this looks like a very nice neighbourhood! I received a note from someone who lives in the area and have learned that the estate is roughly 10 years old (c1999). There are a number of streets in the area named after local Colleges, so it seems likely that Plater Drive was named after Plater College (more later).



Here is a link to Plater Drive from Google Maps. Be sure to check out the satelite photo of the street and the surrounding area.

Google Maps also has a "Street View" set up for this neighbourhood. Street View gives you a series of 360 degree photos at street level that can simulate a drive down the streets. You have to check it out!


As it is the purpose of this Blog, I am hoping to hear from anybody who knows about this street. Does anyone have any pictures that they could share? Does anyone know it's history: Where did Plater Drive get its name? Drop me a line!

    I came back to look at your pictures and your blog. I have been to Toronto, Canada many, many times, but I never did come across the area that you are talking about. Wish I had. Perhaps some day.

    Thank you for stopping by! It is fairly easy for me to find information about places in the Toronto area related to my surname as I live here. It is more of a challenge just finding these type of places outside of Canada. So I am hoping that I will have others send me ideas - I've got my fingers crossed!
