  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.

What do the Oxford spires dream of? Everything under the sun. It’s all here: on display in the comprehensive museums; shelved in the many libraries, or met with in the teeming streets. Walk, cycle or sail away from the centre and you’ll find its arteries of interest: the river Thames and Port Meadow; Magdalen bridge and the river Cherwell; the kaleidoscopic Cowley Road.

  • Loyalties Seminar 18 November Kellogg College, Oxford Venue
    Loyalties Seminar 18 November Kellogg College, Oxford Venue: Kellogg College, Mawby Room, Oxford, 62 Banbury Road, Oxford. OX2 6PN Maps and Directions: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Kellogg+College/@51.7639694,- 1.2601312,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xad00ce6216a89632!8m2!3d51.7639694!4d-1.2601312 The question of dual or contested loyalties has been a constant theme in the history of British communism. Recent research in this field has been enriched by the availability of MI5 files, Soviet archives and personal memoir. However, the question of the loyalties of British communists has a much wider significance, encompassing, for example, the dilemmas of intellectuals and changing personal and political identities. In the background have often been tensions between the freedom of the artist and writer and their political commitments, the internationalist and anti-fascist allegiances in the context of war and pacifism, and the effects of the Cold War on work and family life. Given the breadth of the loyalties question, this one day seminar, funded by The Open University’s Centre for Citizenship, Identities and Governance, was conceived with the idea of pushing out the boundaries of research to bring together historians, political scientists, intelligence experts and those working on biographical studies and life-writing. The seminar is intended to be a starting-point for further research and will focus initially on three main areas: War, intelligence and espionage British communists, the Popular Front and Spain in the 1930s Writers,
