Comment from Govanus
Thank you for the nice information. I am wondering how closely people bound the area to the past when they use it in the present for indirectly linked purposes like:- http://www.oxford.gov.uk/PageRender/decH/GarageLocationsCowleyAirfieldandBarnsRoad.htm ? Maybe close but the edges might have been conveniently adjusted by officials. IMHO I've no idea just it would be good to know and have it mapped so people could understand those that still use the term.
