More about Oxford City Oxfordshire
Oxford is a city and local government district in
Oxfordshire, England, with a population of 134,248 (2001
census). It is home to the University of Oxford, the
oldest university in the English-speaking world.
It is known as the "city of dreaming spires", a term
coined by Matthew Arnold in reference to the harmonious
architecture of the university buildings. The Oxford
suburb of Cowley has a long history of carmaking and now
produces the BMW MINI.
The University of Oxford is first mentioned in 12th
century records. Oxford's earliest colleges were
University College (1249), Balliol (1263) and Merton
(1264). These colleges were established at a time when
Europeans were starting to translate the writings of
Greek philosophers. These writings challenged European
ideology - inspiring scientific discoveries and
advancements in the arts - as society began seeing
itself in a new way. These colleges at Oxford were
supported by the Church in hopes to reconcile Greek
Philosophy and Christian Theology.
Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford is unique as a college
chapel and cathedral in one foundation. Originally the
Priory Church of St Frideswide, the building was
extended and incorporated into the structure of the
Cardinal's College shortly before its refounding as
Christ Church in 1546, since which time it has
functioned as the cathedral of the Diocese of Oxford.
During the English Civil War, Oxford housed the court of
Charles I in 1642, after the king was expelled from
London, although there was strong support in the town
for the Parliamentarian cause. The town yielded to
Parliamentarian forces under General Fairfax in 1646.
In 1790 the Oxford Canal connected the city with
Coventry. The Duke's Cut was completed by the Duke of
Marlborough in 1789 to link the new canal with the River
Thames; and in 1796 the Oxford Canal company built their
own link to the Thames, at Isis Lock. In the 1840s the
Great Western Railway and London and North Western
Railway linked Oxford with London.
By the early 20th century Oxford was experiencing rapid
industrial and population growth, with the printing and
publishing industries becoming well established by the
1920s. Also during that decade the economy and society
of Oxford underwent a huge transformation as William
Morris established the Morris Motor Company to mass
produce cars in Cowley, on the south-eastern edge of the
city. By the early 1970s over 20,000 people worked in
Cowley at the huge Morris Motors and Pressed Steel
Fisher plants. By this time Oxford was a city of two
halves: the university city to the west of Magdalen
Bridge (from where students traditionally jump into the
River Cherwell every May Day morning) and the car town
to the east. This led to the witticism that "Oxford is
the left bank of Cowley". Cowley suffered major job
losses in the 1980s and 1990s during the decline of
British Leyland, but is now producing the successful New
MINI for BMW.
The influx of migrant labour to the car plants, recent
immigration from south-east Asia, and a large student
population, have given Oxford a notable cosmopolitan
character, especially in the Headington and Cowley Road
areas with their many bars, cafes, restaurants, clubs,
ethnic shops and fast food outlets.
Oxford is located some 50 miles (80 km) north west of
London; the cities are linked by the M40 motorway, which
also links northwards to Birmingham.
Rail connections include services to London
(Paddington), Bournemouth, Worcester (via the Cotswold
Line), and Bicester. The city also has regular train
services northwards to Birmingham, Coventry and the
north. The railway service connecting Oxford and
Cambridge, known as the Varsity Line, was discontinued
in 1968.
The Oxford Canal connects to the River Thames at Oxford.
Oxford Airport at Kidlington offers business and general
aviation services.
Bus services are largely provided by the Oxford Bus
Company and Stagecoach South Midlands and include two
competing frequent-interval coach services to London,
Stagecoach's Oxford Tube, and Oxford Bus's Oxford
Express, both of which leave from Gloucester Green Bus
Station on the western edge of the city centre. The
Oxford Tube is reputed by its operator to be the most
intensive coach service of its kind anywhere in the
world. Stagecoach also runs a half-hourly coach service
to Cambridge, and a less frequent service to
Northampton, whilst many National Express services
between the North and Midlands and the South/South West
call in the city. Other local and rural bus services are
provided by Wallingford-based Thames Travel.
