Description
Oxford in the 1950s and '60s offers a rare glimpse of life in the city during this fascinating period, which started with post-war austerity and ended with Britain becoming the music and fashion capital of the world. However, as this amazing collection of over 190 photographs, mainly from the library of Newsquest Oxfordshire, show, there is much more to these two decades than pop groups and mini skirts, and it the lives of ordinary people which have been captured by skilled photographers. Including views of Oxford's streets and buildings, shops and businesses, pubs and hotels, cafes and restaurants, the Colleges and University departments, as well as some of the villages which form the suburbs of the city, this delightful book is sure to appeal to all who remember these decades and everyone who knows and loves this vibrant city.
