Once a ”respectable” white working-class suburb, Cowley Road is today the heartland of alternative Oxford. Famous for its restaurants & specialist shops, the street has also developed a n enviable reputation for its music & nightlife. Half a century of immigration & student growth has transformed Cowley Road into a lively thoroughfare synonymous with youth & multicultural expression. Annie Skinner traces the development of Cowley Road, looking at the impact of changing population & tastes on an urban environment. She considers how the street survived potentially devastating planning blight, witnessed political ferment in the 1970s & 1980s, & finally became a fashionably bohemian part of Oxford. Based on interviews & local archives, she reveals a largely untold history of a street that is both typical of modern Britain & unique in its political & cultural dynamism. * Cultural melting-pot: churches & mosques; restaurants & retailing; a multi-ethnic community. * Politics & protest: revolutionaries & hippies; a tradition of radicalism; feminism & gay rights; the fight against racism; reds & greens.* Dancing in the street: Radiohead, Supergrass & the Zodiac; the street that never sleeps; the Cowley Road Carnival. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
