The Plain, Oxford
The Plain is an important junction, now a roundabout constructed in 1950, just east of Magdalen Bridge in Oxford, England. To the east and southeast are St Clement's, Cowley Road and Iffley Road. Magdalen College School is to the south. Cowley Place, also to the south, leads to St Hilda's College, the most easterly college of the University of Oxford.
The Plain received its name after the parish church of St Clement's was demolished here in 1829 after a new church〔(St Clement's Church, Oxford ).〕 was built near the other end of St Clement's in 1827–28, at the southern end of Marston Road.〔(Old Oxford: East Oxford: The Plain ).〕 This left an open space where the roundabout now is.
==Victoria Fountain==
The Plain includes a small but prominent building facing Magdalen Bridge, Victoria Fountain, protected by a roof on stone columns.〔(The Plain, Oxford, United Kingdom Of Great Britain Stock Image ).〕 On top of the sloping tiled roof is a small clock tower. The fountain was a gift to the city by G. Herbert Morrell, designed by E. P. Warren and officially opened on 25 May 1899 by Princess Louise.
