Blackhall Road, Oxford

Blackhall Road is a road running between Keble Road to the north and Museum Road to the south in central Oxford, England, dating from the late 19th century. It is named after Black Hall, dating from at least 1519, fronting onto St Giles', and now part of St John's College. Houses in the road were leased by St John's College between 1865–75.
Keble College occupies the entire east side of the road, including the O'Reilly Theatre. In the 1970s, the architects Ahrends, Burton and Koralek designed yellow brick buildings on the southern part of Blackhall Road.〔Jennifer Sherwood and Nikolaus Pevsner, ''The Buildings of England: Oxfordshire''. Penguin Books, 1974. ISBN 0-14-071045-0. Page 229.〕 This include the "Elephant House" at the southern end, nicknamed due to its resemblance to the elephant house at London Zoo.〔''(The Elephant House — Keble College (Oxford) )'', Wikimapia.〕
At the southern on the west side are houses owned by St John's College.〔Geoffrey Tyack, ''(Modern architecture in an Oxford college: St John's College, 1945–2005 )''. Oxford University Press, 2005, (page 52 ). ISBN 978-0-19-927162-7.〕 At the northern end to the west is the Mathematical Institute, a department of the University of Oxford.
The historian J.K. Fotheringham (1874–1936), an expert on ancient astronomy and chronology, and Fellow of Magdalen College, lived at 6 Blackhall Road.〔''(Proceedings of the Classical Association )'', volumes 26–28. Classical Association, 1929.〕 The classical historian Abel Hendy Jones Greenidge lived at 4 Blackhall Road. The poet and art critic Hasan Shahid Suhrawardy (1890–1965), an associate of the writer D.H. Lawrence, also lived in the road when they met in 1915.〔David Farmer, John Worthen, and Lindeth Vasey (editors), ''(The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D.H. Lawrence: Women in Love )''. Cambridge University Press, 1987, (page 586 ). ISBN 0-521-23565-0; ISBN 0-521-28041-9.〕

The road includes one of the longest lasting and still extant pieces of outdoor graffiti in Oxford. On a brick wall forming part of Keble College, opposite the Mathematical Institute building, are two large dinosaurs in white and blue paint. The caption "REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAUR!" is next to the white dinosaur. By the blue dinosaur, perhaps intended to resemble an aligator, is a riposte "I DID, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME". It is thought that the white graffiti, the earlier of the two pieces, was the work of delegates at the Drapers' Conference at Keble in the early 1970s and was a defiant warning to those students of Keble's much older neighbour St John's College who had formed the St John’s Destroy Keble Society.〔''(Keble College alumni fundraising report )''〕 Close by in Parks Road is the Oxford University Museum of Natural History where a number of fossilized dinosaur skeletons can be seen.
