  • Drawings by J. B. Malchair in Corpus Christi College
    Drawings by J. B. Malchair In Corpus Christi College By H. MINN HERE have recently come to light in Corpus Christi College library T eleven volumes of drawings by J. B. Malchair and his pupils, drawn between the years 1765-1790.1 Malchair was a music and drawing master, and resided in Broad Street. A full account of all that is known of him will be found in an article by Paul Oppe in the Burlington Maga<:ine for August, 194-3. This collection appears to have been made by John Griffith, Warden of Wadham College, 1871-81, and consists of 339 water-colour, indian ink, and pencil sketches; of these no less than 138 are views in and about the City and drawn by Malchair himself. A full list of all the drawings depicting Oxford or neighbouring places will be found in the Appendix; the remainder of the drawings depict places outside the range of Oxonunsia. Malchair's drawings of the City are very valuable records, and it is satisfactory to note that most of his known drawings are now to be found in Oxford; for, in addition to this collection, there is a fine collection in the Ashmolean Museum and a few other drawings are among the Bodleian topographical collection; but there were others of great interest in existence in 1862 (see Proceedings of the Oxford Architectural and Historical Society, new series, I, 14-8), and it is to be hoped that these, if still in existence, may some day find a home in Oxford. The value of Malchair's drawings is much enhanced by his habit of writing on the back the subject, the year, day of the month and often the hour at which the drawing was made.

  • Scheduled Monuments in Oxfordshire Eclited by D
    Scheduled Monuments in Oxfordshire Eclited by D. B. HARDEN HE Council for British Archaeology has recently issued the second eclition T of its J1emorandum on the Ancient Monuments Acts of 1913, 1931 and 1953.' This pamphlet explains in brief terms the provisions of the Acts and the machinery instituted by the Ministry of Works for operating them. It con­ tains also a list of local correspondents of the Mjnistry of Works, county by county, through whom reports and information about ancient monuments in the counties may be forwarded to the Ancient Monuments Department of the Ministry for action by the Chief Inspector of Ancient Monuments and his staff'. The information contained in the pamphlet is so important and so lucidly set out that the Committee has reacliJy acceded to a request from the Council for British Archaeology that its substance should be reprinted here. It is hoped that aJl members of the Society will make themselves familiar with the facts it provides, and be ready to keep the necessary watch on ancient monu­ ments in their area whether scheduled or not scheduled. Any actual or impend­ ing destruction or damage should be reported without delay either to the Cbief Inspector of Ancient Monuments or to the Ministry's Local Correspondent in the county in which the monument lies. (A list of the correspondents for Oxfordshire and neighbouring counties is given in Appendix I.) Special watch should, of course, be kept on monuments already scheduled, which are, for the very reason that they are scheduled, to be presumed to be amongst the most important ancient remains in the clistrict.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

  • Why Securing Platform Carriage Deals Is Vital for Britbox a Report Prepared by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates Ltd
    March 2020 Why securing platform carriage deals is vital for BritBox A report prepared by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates Ltd Why securing platform carriage deals is vital for BritBox Summary: • Ahead of BritBox’s launch in the UK last November our research found that 19 per cent of people were interested in it; we predicted this might translate into 1.7 million subscribers at the end of the first year • Having conducted further research almost four months after launch, we found that only 1.5 per cent of respondents have a subscription, representing around 380,000 subscribers • A further 560,000 have tried the service but won’t be subscribing, while 100,000 have already cancelled their paid subscriptions – suggesting that BritBox has failed to capitalise on the initial interest • The net promoter score of -46 indicates that a sizeable majority of consumers would not recommend the service to friends • With Disney+ launching on March 24, following its strong performance in the US, there is a risk that BritBox will struggle to establish itself in the face of significant and increasing competition • If BritBox is to have any chance of success in the UK, ITV and the BBC need to act fast to capitalise on brand recognition, and implement platform carriage deals as soon as possible BritBox – ITV and the BBC’s subscription video on demand (SVoD) service – arrived in the UK last November, offering a library of British content and a small number of original programmes. At a cost of £5.99 per month, BritBox is slightly cheaper than the standard plans from the biggest subscription video on demand (SVoD) players in the UK market: Netflix costs £8.99 per month, while Amazon Prime Video costs £7.99 per month.
