OMR is located some 3 kilometers to the west of Oxford in an area called North Hinksey. West Oxford is situated in the Thames flood plain and the area includes a section of the main river as well as a bewildering network of side streams and ditches. In Anglo-Saxon times, the first settlers in West Oxford looked for slightly higher ground in this watery landscape and the suffix -ey in the place names such as Hinksey derives from the Old English word for an island. |
