SUMMARY:Museum of Oxford Walks: The Lost Streets of St Ebbes
DESCRIPTION:Museum of Oxford Walks: The Lost Streets of St Ebbes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Museum of Oxford Walks: The Lost Streets of St Ebbes\n\n\n\nOnce a thriving residential area for a working-class community in the heart of Oxford\, the so-called ‘slums’ of St Ebbe’s were designated for demolition after the Second World War. Today\, it is hard to imagine that these buildings and this community ever existed. \n\n\n\nThis 90-minute circular walking tour will bring the lost buildings\, streets and people of St Ebbe’s to life. On the walk\, you will discover the fragments that still remain of a district which once housed thousands\, along with the stories of the people who lived\, loved\, drank\, ate\, worked and shopped there. \n\n\n\nGuided by Maurice East\, local Oxford resident and historian\, you will see the lost streets\, alleyways\, yards and homes come alive amidst the present-day monoliths of the Westgate shopping centre and Speedwell House. \n\n\n\nJoin a tour of the Lost Streets of St Ebbe’s to discover why this community grew\, how it thrived\, and why it was so brutally destroyed. \n\n\n\nAs part of the tour\, you will see: The Wharf House Pub\, one of the last remaining buildings from the historic residential district\, Speedwell Street and the plans to modernise Oxford by clearing a ‘slum’\, three surviving 17th century cottages – and more historic locations that will be brought to life on this walk. \n\n\n\nAccessibility and further information: \n\n\n\nMeeting point: Museum of Oxford shop (located inside the Oxford Town Hall). Please arrive 5 minutes before the start of the walk and check in at the Museum Shop with our friendly front of house team.  \n\n\n\nThe walk lasts 1.5 hours. \n\n\n\nThe itinerary includes cobbled streets\, uneven surfaces and narrow pavements. Please email museum@oxford.gov.uk if you would like to discuss any access requirements ahead of booking a walk.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that this walk is recommended for ages 16+.   \n\n\n\nTickets cost £15 and are available to purchase online or at the Museum shop.  \n\n\n\nYour ticket also gives you access to the MOX galleries on the day of the walk\, at any time during opening hours. \n\n\n\nEvent tickets are non-refundable if you choose to cancel your booking.  \n\n\n\nA refund will only be issued if the event is cancelled or if there is a significant change to the advertised programme. \n\n\n\nMeet Your Tour Guide: Maurice East \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 at the Museum \n\n\n\nThe Museum is accessible for wheelchair users\, buggies and baby carriers. There is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall). Inside the Museum\, Museum Makers is accessible via a platform lift and lift to the basement level. Accessible toilets are available in the Museum (close to Museum Makers) and in the Town Hall on the ground floor\, before entering the Museum. \n\n\n\nPlease contact the Museum team if you’d like to talk to a member of staff about your access requirements. Further access information can be found on our website: https://museumofoxford.org/plan-your-visit/access \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\n£15.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 25 July and Saturday 05 September 2026 at 11.00am \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 30 minutes \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. Located inside the Oxford Town Hall\, it explores the city’s rich history beyond the university\, focusing on the lives\, industries\, and communities that have shaped Oxford over time. \n\n\n\nThe museum features interactive exhibits\, local artefacts\, and personal stories\, covering topics such as Oxford’s medieval origins\, its diverse communities\, and key moments in its development.
