SUMMARY:Lunchtime Talk: ‘Everybody Out! Industrial action in Oxford between the wars’
DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime Talk: ‘Everybody Out! Industrial action in Oxford between the wars’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Lunchtime Talk: ‘Everybody Out! Industrial action in Oxford between the wars’\n\n\n\nThe UK General Strike of May 1926 had a profound impact on the entire country. For nine days\, nearly three million trade unionists went on strike in sympathy with nearly a million miners\, whose employers had locked them out because they would not accept steep pay cuts and a longer working day. \n\n\n\nBritain had never seen this level of mass action before\, and the ripples of discontent would stretch out to Oxford: a town which in the 1920s and 30s was experiencing tumultuous industrial\, cultural and social change.  \n\n\n\nJoin Maurice East to discover the history of how trade unionism and working-class political activism arrived in the city of dreaming spires. \n\n\n\nComplimentary tea and coffee will be available to enjoy during the talk. We recommend arriving before the start of the talk if you would like to grab a refreshment. \n\n\n\nMaurice East is a local historian who was born and raised in Oxford. He interprets the social history of the city through the lens of growing up as a ‘townie’ and shines a spotlight on stories far off the usual tourist trail. His main area of research is the history of car making at Cowley and how the arrival of industry\, cars and blue-collar workers changed Oxford forever in the early twentieth century. \n\n\n\nAccess  \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall). Inside the Museum\, Museum Makers is accessible via a platform lift to the Galleries and then a lift to the basement. \n\n\n\nPhoto consent \n\n\n\nPlease be aware that photographs will be taken at this event for use in marketing. If you (or a member of your group) would prefer not to be photographed\, please let a member of staff know during the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nTickets cost £6.00 and are available online via Plinth or at the Museum shop. \n\n\n\nTickets for this event also include access to the Galleries. \n\n\n\nSales from tickets help support MOX’s work to deliver fun and accessible family activities\, community engagement projects\, school workshops\, exhibitions and special events for Oxford’s people in the Museum spaces. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 13 May 2026 at 1.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Museum of Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Museum of Oxford is the only museum dedicated to telling the story of Oxford and its people.
