Oxford’s High Street follows a route originally established in the Saxon walled city. It curves gently to the right, following a track from the original East Gate to the river crossing near Magdalen College. It has developed its unique character over the last thousand years into a lively mix of medieval houses, colleges, shops, pubs and churches. This range of shops is on the north side of the High Street between All Soul’s College and Queen’s College. No 33 dates from the 17th century but its front was replaced in the 18th century. It is on the site of Drawda Hall, named after William Drogheda who owned it in the thirteenth century. It is now owned by Queen’s College. No 34 has an 18th century front on what was a 17th century house and until 1871 was a private house. The well-known Oxford photographer Henry Taunt moved here in about 1895 from No 41High Street and he remained at this shop until 1906. The timber-framed four storey building which is No’s 35 & 36 dates from before 1600, but the front was replaced in the 18th century. The bay windows upstairs are 16th century. It formed two separate narrow houses until around 1870. No’s 37and 38 date from the 16th or early 17th century. The oriel windows in the gables are supported by seventeenth-century brackets and the barge board above the windows dates from the 17th century.
