In oxygen-annealed La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+{delta}} ({delta}{approximately}0.03), bulk magnetization measurements show an increase of {approximately}4K in the superconducting T{sub c} when the sample is cooled slowly through a narrow temperature range near 195K. At this temperature, {sup 139}La NQR spectra exhibit a concomitant appearance of an anomalous feature associated with the metallic phase whose spectral weight increases with cooling rate. The data suggests a distribution of local structures and annealing-dependent volume fraction on this part of the sample. Interpretation of these results in terms of oxygen diffusion in a phase separated material is considered and a picture consistent with the observed changes in T{sub c} is obtained. Other possible origins of these anomalies and the role they play in determining the superconducting properties of this system are discussed.
