Olive Gibbs in 1965 on being appointed Sheriff of Oxford

An exhibition to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Olive Gibbs, one of the most prominent and well-loved figures in 20th-century Oxford. Olive was a local Labour politician who was instrumental in preventing an inner relief road being built across Christ Church Meadow, in the demolition of the Cutteslowe walls, and in saving Jericho from slum clearance. She was also a very active peace campaigner and was one of the founding members of CND and its national chair in the mid-1960s. The exhibition is free and open during normal shopping centre opening hours. The exhibition will move to the West Oxford Community Centre from 2nd to 27th July.
