Town centre shops often evoke powerful memories of time and place. It could be the location of a first date, a Saturday job, a regular meeting point, or the place you went for a favourite childhood treat.
Join Maurice East to explore the history of Oxford through the fascinating stories of ever-changing city centre shops through the ages.
The tour will explore: the ‘shambles’ of medieval Oxford; the hidden Jewish quarter of St Aldates; the alleyways of the covered market; lost coaching inns; grand department stores; the controversial destruction of a famous hotel; and much much more!
Tickets cost £15 and are available to purchase online or at the Museum shop.
