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.
