The University represents a significant part of the daily economic activity of As the centre of Oxford becomes more constrained in terms of available Oxford city, with the Oxford Economic Growth Strategy identifying higher capacity for development, areas of less central development have taken education as being responsible for 19.6% of all employment in the city. Any place, particularly at the science parks which are located at Begbroke to the growth or changes in the operation of the University estate can therefore north and Harwell to the south. be expected to have wider impacts on Oxford as a whole. As a result the University has commissioned this Transport Strategy to The University itself occupies a relatively unique position in terms of its support the growth and development plans within the University’s Estate integration with the rest of Oxford; University buildings, colleges and Strategy, whilst also considering the existing transport needs of the centres of research are scattered throughout the city. This University University. presence is particularly concentrated in two main areas: The University is committed to sustainable travel, to encouraging the use of the centre of Oxford, with the majority of the colleges, the main efficient public and communal transport, bicycles and walking, and to University administrative buildings and the Science Area located reducing carbon dioxide emissions from work-related travel and University- close by owned vehicles. The University discourages unnecessary travel and the use East Oxford, with a cluster of clinical and medical research of private motor transport both for travel to the University and travel for development located around the hospital sites within Headington. other work purposes during the day, with the aim of reducing traffic and parking in Oxford. As a major international centre of learning, research and development, the University is expected to continue to grow, associated with an expansion of its physical estate. 3 University of Oxford A083450 02/06/2016 University of Oxford Transport Strategy Oxford University Estate Strategy information and an assessment of future growth and development. A summary of each is provided below. The University’s Estate Strategy 2013–18 outlines the future development and growth aspirations of the University and identifies the areas expected Consultation to be the focus for this development. The following areas in particular are expected to see growth during the strategy period: The development of the strategy included a wide range of consultation activities, including the following: Radcliffe Observatory Quarter (ROQ) Old Road Campus (incorporating the former Park Hospital site) . a range of direct interviews covering the four academic divisions, Science Area and Keble Road Triangle Academic Services and University Collections, University Begbroke Science Park Administration and Services and the Conference of Colleges Iffley Road Sports Centre . two workshop sessions with representation from across the Egrove Park Collegiate University (with 26 attendees) . consultation meetings with external partners/stakeholders The overall level of growth to be planned for is significant, expected to total including Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council. approximately 251,000m2 over the next 20-year period (equivalent to 43% growth of the overall estate). This Transport Strategy forms one of the Current and future travel demands documents planning for and supporting the delivery of the overall Estate Strategy. A review of staff travel information taken from the 2012 University Travel Survey identified a number of main current transport issues relevant to the The Transport Strategy focuses on the University’s functional estate.

    Engagement with the communities of Oxford and Oxfordshire Did you know? St Giles’ Fair began as the parish feast of St Giles, first recorded in 1624. From the 1780s it became a toy fair, with general amusements for children. In the next century its focus shifted towards adults, with entertainment, rides and stalls. In the late 1800s there were calls for the fair to be stopped on the grounds that it encouraged rowdy behaviour. During Victorian times engineering advances brought the forerunners of today’s rides. Today the huge pieces of machinery fill St Giles’ with sparkling lights for a few days each year, and whizz within feet of ancient college buildings. The stone heads around the Sheldonian Theatre now number thirteen (there were originally fourteen, but one was removed to make way for the adjoining Clarendon Building.) It is not known what they were intended to represent – they might be gods, wise men, emperors or just boundary markers. The original heads were made by William Byrd and put up in 1669.

    MATTHEW BOULTON AND THE SOHO MINT: COPPER TO CUSTOMER by SUE TUNGATE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern History College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is well known as an eighteenth-century industrialist, the founder of Soho Manufactory and the steam-engine business of Boulton and Watt. Less well known are his scientific and technical abilities in the field of metallurgy and coining, and his role in setting up the Soho Mint. The intention of this thesis is to focus on the coining activities of Matthew Boulton from 1787 until 1809, and to examine the key role he played in the modernisation of money. It is the result of an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded collaboration with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where, after examination of their extensive collection of coins, medals, tokens and dies produced at the Soho Mint, .research was used to produce a catalogue.
