Local historian and OLHA committee member Liz Woolley will be running her popular weekly class The City of Oxford 1850-1914 on Wednesday mornings from 25 September to 4 December 2024, at the Museum of Oxford. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the social, cultural and economic changes that Oxford underwent in the Victorian and Edwardian periods – concentrating on the history of the “town” rather than the “gown” – and to set local developments into a national context.
