Oxford and East Oxford, 1850 to 1914 - Liz Woolley.

Liz writes "In 1850 Oxford was a fairly small, inward-looking city, still largely contained within its medieval boundaries; by the eve of the First World War it had quadrupled in size and was poised to become one of the major manufacturing centres in southern England. This talk will examine the social, cultural and  economic changes that the city underwent in this 65-year period and the special part played in them by the rapidly developing suburb of East Oxford."
