A Full-Color Map of Oxford, England

Oxford, a city steeped in history and culture, is often associated with its renowned university. However, it is also a city in its own right, with a rich and diverse past that deserves to be explored. This full-color map, based on a digitized map of the city from 1876, beautifully captures the medieval past of Oxford while highlighting its most important buildings.

The map showcases the city's various parts, including areas where the 1876 base map remains relevant today and others that have undergone significant transformation. This second edition of the map, first issued in 2015, has been updated and revised to reflect the editor's recent research. Additionally, the gazetteer of buildings and sites of interest has been updated and printed in full color throughout the map.

The map's cover features a brief introduction to the city's history, providing a glimpse into its rich past. On the reverse side, an illustrated and comprehensive gazetteer of Oxford's main sites of interest is presented, ranging from medieval monasteries to Oxford castle and the working-class and industrial areas that lay beyond the city center's dreaming spires.

The map is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the history and architecture of Oxford. Whether you are a local resident, a student, or a visitor, this map will help you discover the city's hidden treasures and gain a deeper understanding of its rich heritage.
