A study day organised by the Oxfordshire Local History Association (OLHA). In the morning there will be four short talks, starting with an exploration of the latest features of the County Council’s online catalogue and historic mapping platform 'Heritage Search', with joint Manager of Oxfordshire History Centre Mark Lawrence. Garth Lewis will then talk about his family’s famous Oxford department store F Cape & Co; Malcolm Graham will reveal the delights of a remarkable collection of photographs of suburban shops taken in the late 1940s and 1950s; and Bob Hessian will explain how shopping in Bicester has changed over the years, and the challenges that retailers now face. In the afternoon there will be a guided walking tour of Bicester, whose history goes back to early Saxon times. Further information at https://olha.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2....
