SANITISER STORE: A giant metal cupboard full of hand sanitiser could be built on a vacant building plot currently used as a car park. Oxford University wants to build a temporary hand sanitiser store on the building plot at the centre of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. In a letter explaining its plans, the University says it is currently storing hand sanitiser in locations across its estate, but adds because it is flammable, this is deemed to be a risk. The industrial quantities of hand sanitiser would be moved to locations like the store in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter to prevent this risk.

Kingsley Vallis with his sultana cake, which won him a runners-up place in the area finals of a national baking competition at the Randolph Hotel, Oxford, in 1980 THE motto of the Vallis bakery family was “new bread for breakfast”. Customers were promised that a fresh loaf would always be on their table for the first meal of the day. Four generations of the family supplied bread, cakes and other products to customers from their base at Headington Quarry, Oxford, for more than a century. Many readers will remember William Vallis, who ran the business for more than 50 years. His ancestors were stonemasons coming, like many families, from other parts of the country to work on the Headington quarries, which supplied much of the stone needed for the spate of building in Oxford following the Reformation.
