The guide will use six objects to explain Oxford’s history\, including the city origins\, the city and the University\, the English Civil War\, literary Oxford\, scientific Oxford and industrial Oxford. \n\n\n\nAn introduction to Oxford’s past \n\n\n\nWhat is it that is unique about Oxford? The city is well known around the world. This tour identifies some of the features that have made the city so special. From the Saxon period when the city was already an important settlement\, through the development of the university\, the important role played by the city in the English Civil Wars\, to more recent features such as the growth of the car industry under the leadership of William Morris\, the Covered Market and the important literary figures linked to the city\, the tour will give you an insight which should stimulate interest in finding out more. The Museum is an ideal starting point for you to discover Oxford’s amazing past. \n\n\n\nArtisan Oxford: Arts\, Crafts\, and Creations \n\n\n\nWhat connects James Bond’s favourite breakfast with the South Pole? How did a small Oxford boutique become the “Holy Grail” of fashion? Encompassing cutting-edge design\, folk frivolities\, and extremely rare architecture\, (not the spire kind); Oxford Arts is unique. Explore our city’s rich creative heritage through a hand-picked selection of artisan objects. \n\n\n\nOxford Night Out \n\n\n\nSince medieval times Oxford has been famous for its vibrant social and cultural scene\, making it one of the best places for a night out in the UK. In this tour\, we will explore four aspects of a night out in Oxford through the ages: pubs\, music venues\, cinema and theatre\, and St. Giles Fair\, highlighting topics of celebrity\, disorder\, and hygiene. I hope you can join me on what promises to be an exciting and\, at times\, surprising\, tour. \n\n\n\nThe Oxford Story \n\n\n\nThis tour will explore the stories of the city\, and the city of stories. This includes Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, Oxford’s cinemas\, and Oxford as a film location and place of inspiration for stories. \n\n\n\nThis Talented Town \n\n\n\nA mixture of Oxford city specialities\, this tour will highlight the achievements of some of the extraordinary people from this spectacular town. \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\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £2.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are available to purchase online (subject to a transaction fee of £0.88) or at the Museum shop. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\n\n15 & 20 February\n\n\n\n01\, 04\, 15 & 27 March\n\n\n\n05\, 19 & 22 April\n\n\n\n03\, 08\, 17 & 30 May\n\n\n\n07\, 17 & 21 June\n\n\n\n12\, 17\, 26 & 29 July\n\n\n\n02\, 12\, 23 & 26 August\n\n\n\n04\, 16 & 27 September\n\n\n\n02\, 14\, 18 & 23 October\n\n\n\n01\, 04\, 15 & 20 November\n\n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\nAdults and 12+ \n\n\n\nPhoto consent: \n\n\n\nPlease be aware that photographs may be taken at this event for use in marketing.

SUMMARY:The Car-Makers of Cowley
DESCRIPTION:The Car-Makers of Cowley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Car-Makers of Cowley\n\n\n\nThis seminar is one of a new six-part event series taking place this autumn\, hosted by Oxford University’s Community History Hub. The events will showcase a range of innovative local historical projects run by\, or in partnership with\, community historians. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn about the latest new research being conducted on Oxfordshire’s diverse histories\, as well as gain new skills that could help shape personal project ideas. \n\n\n\nOn 14 November\, participants will hear a talk by Maurice East (local historian) and Prof Rob Iliffe (University of Oxford) about ‘The Car-Makers of Cowley’ project. This project is a new joint community-university initiative to document\, preserve\, and share the multi-faceted history of the local car-making industry\, centered around the former Morris car plant in Cowley\, which is today the home of ‘MINI’. \n\n\n\nAttendees will hear about the rise of the original Morris and Pressed Steel factories in the early twentieth century\, the turbulent years of militant industrial action in Cowley during the British Leyland era of the 1960s–80s\, and the ways in which the car industry transformed Oxford through new housing developments\, migration\, and a surge of new vehicles. \n\n\n\nThe project team also invites participants to share their stories and contributions for inclusion in a new digital archive being developed over the next year. This free\, publicly accessible website will showcase local histories\, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn more and provide feedback at the event.  \n\n\n\nThose with personal or family connections to the car plant are especially encouraged to attend\, though all with an interest in Oxford’s automotive past are welcome. \n\n\n\nThe event is free and everyone is welcome\, but please note that the number of spaces available is limited\, so do book in advance.
