Oxford is identified with its university, and the university has certainly played a huge role in shaping the town. But the history of Oxford is much more than just a footnote to its colleges. The town was already old when the first scholars gathered there, and it has seen many major non-academic milestones, such as the founding of the hugely influential Morris works at Cowley by Lord Nuffield.
Secret Oxford explores town and gown, the little-known facts as well as the well-known ones, and directs the reader – tourist or resident – to key locations and visible remains. Each well-illustrated chapter ends with a list of related things that must be seen. There are also a number of self-guided walks to help the reader experience the diverse flavour of the city and its history.
Andrew lives not far from Oxford in the Thames valley. Local history and archaeology have always been his passions. After taking a doctorate in archaeology from Cambridge University he worked for English Heritage for over 20 years. He has published numerous articles on aspects of archaeology as well as monographs on the history of photography. This book arose naturally out of his varied interests.
